Moscow welcomes any and all steps taken by Iran and Saudi Arabia to facilitate an easing of tensions in the region and revive a dialogue between the neighboring Gulf countries, Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"We welcome any steps that can and will help reduce tensions and reinvigorate dialogue in the region, in a very unstable region," Dmitry Peskov told a news briefing. "Especially when it comes to such key regional players as Saudi Arabia and Iran."
Earlier, Iran and Saudi Arabia had agreed to normalize bilateral relations and planned to open embassies within two months. Iranian and Saudi diplomats had held talks in Beijing for several days, after which a trilateral statement was adopted.
