(MENAFN) The Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir has met Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi - the first such visit by a Saudi foreign minister since 1990.
The meeting is the latest effort to ease long-standing tensions between the two countries.
Last year, the Saudis installed an ambassador in Iraq for the first time in a quarter of a century.
But Baghdad later demanded his sacking after he made critical remarks about Iranian influence in Iraq.
