Iran's President Raisi welcomes invitation to visit Saudi Arabia.

Iran says Saudi Arabia has invited Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi for an official visit, just over a week since the countries agreed to restore diplomatic relations. The Middle East's recent history has been dominated by hostility between the two nations. China brokered the thaw, which could reshape the region's geopolitics. Both have announced they will reopen embassies within two months and re-establish trade and security relations. Iran has also expressed a willingness to resume or improve relations with other regional Arab rivals, including Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
