"A new page has been opened in diplomatic relations between the two countries," said a statement from the foreign ministry of Iraq that was published by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
The statement noted that "the efforts made by the Iraqi government through Baghdad hosting the dialogue rounds between the two sides" paved the way for reconciliation.
It added that these Iraqi efforts "established a solid base for the dialogues that followed through the Sultanate of Oman and the People's Republic of China, leading to the moment of agreement."
The integration of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran would improve regional cooperation and fulfill the aspirations of all parties, heralding the inauguration of a new phase, the statement stressed.
