After meeting and holding talks with his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan as well as visiting the Iranian embassy in Riyadh, Amirabdollahian left Riyadh for Jeddah early on Friday.
Upon arrival at Jeddah airport, Saudi authorities and the Iranian head of the consulate in Jeddah welcomed the top Iranian diplomat.
During his trip, Amirabdollahian is scheduled to meet with Saudi high-ranking officials in Jeddah.
This is the first trip by Iran’s top diplomat to the kingdom after Tehran and Riyadh signed a China-brokered agreement to mend their ties.
Back in March, the two sides agreed to resume diplomatic relations after several days of intensive negotiations hosted by Beijing. They later appointed new ambassadors to the other country’s capital.
