Saudi delegation arrives in Iran for talks on reopening diplomatic missions.

A Saudi technical delegation arrived in Tehran on Saturday as part of a China-brokered deal, signaling the imminent return of a Saudi diplomatic mission to Iran. The visit follows the pledge of both nations to bring security and stability to the Persian Gulf region, one month after their top security officials agreed in principle to restore diplomatic relations. The renewed relations between the two nations could reshape the Middle East's web of alliances in unpredictable ways and is seen as a symbol of Beijing's burgeoning international influence.
