Sudan said on Monday that would restore diplomatic relations with Iran, seven years after they were severed and three months after a meeting between the countries' foreign ministers.
Sudan, currently in the midst of a devastating war, cut diplomatic ties with Iran in 2016 following the storming of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Tehran.
Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to resume ties in March under a deal negotiated by China.
The decision to resume relations "came after a number of high-level communications between the two countries and will serve their mutual interests", the Sudanese foreign ministry said in a statement.
While there was no immediate statement from Iran, its foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said in July that the two countries were working on resuming ties after he met Sudan's acting foreign minister, Ali al-Sadeq, in Baku.
