TEHRAN, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) — Iran and Saudi Arabia on Tuesday reaffirmed their commitment to implementing the 2023 agreement to resume bilateral diplomatic ties, which was brokered by China.
The third meeting of the trilateral committee of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China, responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Beijing agreement, was held in Tehran on Tuesday, the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry reported.
It is noted that Iran and Saudi Arabia are committed to fully implementing the provisions of the Beijing Agreement and are making ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral relations. The parties have pledged to abide by the UN Charter, the Charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and international law, including the principles requiring respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence, and security of the two states.
Tehran and Riyadh welcomed Beijing's continued positive role in the implementation of the agreement and stressed the importance of its support and follow-up actions in this regard.
According to the statement, the three countries welcomed the "continuous progress" in relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, as well as the existing opportunities for direct contacts between the two countries at all levels and across all sectors. They also emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation between regional states to ensure security, stability, peace, and economic progress.
Iran and Saudi Arabia restored diplomatic relations in April 2023, brokered by China. Riyadh severed ties with Tehran in 2016 after Iranian protesters attacked Saudi diplomatic missions over the execution of a Shiite cleric in the kingdom.
