An Iranian official explained, "Since reconciliation between the two countries was achieved through China's positive role, the venue for this foreign ministers' meeting was also decided to be Beijing."

Earlier, Saudi state-run SPA news agency had announced that the two foreign ministers would meet during Ramadan, the Islamic fasting month.

Saudi Arabia and Iran held a secret meeting in Beijing last month on the 10th, agreeing to normalize diplomatic relations after seven years of severance and to reopen their respective embassies within two months.
