Iran and Saudi Arabia will begin official talks next week on the establishment of direct flights, head of the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization Mohammad Mohammadi Bakhsh said. In early March, Iran and Saudi Arabia, with China's mediation, agreed to resume diplomatic relations that were severed in 2016 after Saudi Arabia's diplomatic missions in Iran were attacked following the execution of Shiite preacher Nimr al-Nimr. The agreement on the restoration of diplomatic ties and preparation for the opening of diplomatic missions was signed by the foreign ministers of the two countries in April.
