Iran's embassy in Saudi Arabia reopened its gates on Wednesday for the first time in seven years, Saudi media reported.

The diplomatic mission opened hours after the Iranian foreign ministry said a technical delegation arrived in the kingdom.

"The Iranian delegation will take the necessary measures in Riyadh and Jeddah to set up the embassy and consulate general," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, said in a statement.

Saudi officials also arrived in Iran to discuss procedures for reopening Riyadh's embassy in Tehran and consulate in Mashhad, the Saudi foreign ministry said earlier.
