Iran reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh on Tuesday, Saudi media reported, months after the two countries agreed to restore diplomatic relations under a China-mediated deal.

On Monday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said the Iranian Embassy in Riyadh, its consulate general in Jeddah, and office of the permanent representative to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation would officially reopen on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Kanaani added that Iran’s Embassy and its consulate general had already begun operating to help Iranian pilgrims heading to Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj, set to commence by the end of June.
