Sudan and Iran have agreed to resume diplomatic relations and open embassies soon, Trend news agency reported.
The restoration of relations takes place against the backdrop of normalisation between Riyadh and Tehran. Sudan severed diplomatic relations with Iran in 2016 after the storming of the Saudi embassy in Tehran. In March of this year, Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to resume relations in March as part of a deal brokered by China. The meeting between As-Sadiq and Abdollahian took place on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in Baku.
The talks held in Azerbaijan between Foreign Minister of Sudan Ali al-Sadiq and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir Abdollahian led to the two making an announcement on the restarting of official relations.
This was officially announced by the Iranian Foreign Minister during a press conference in Algiers, where he arrived on an official visit on July 9.
