(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 9. Sudan and Iran have
agreed to resume diplomatic relations and open embassies in the
near future.
As trend has
learned, this decision was led to the talks held in Azerbaijan
between Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali al-Sadig and his Iranian
counterpart Hossein Amir Abdollahian. This was officially announced
by the Iranian Foreign Minister during a press conference in
Algiers, where he arrived on an official visit.
The restoration of relations takes place against the backdrop of
normalization between Riyadh and Tehran. Sudan severed diplomatic
relations with Iran in 2016 after storming the Saudi embassy in
Tehran. In March of this year, Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to
resume relations in March as part of a deal brokered by China. The
meeting between al-Sadig and Abdollahian took place on the
sidelines of the ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in
Baku.
