Iran has received contradictory statements from Saudi Arabia on the renewal of bilateral relations, the country's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Thursday.

During a news conference in Beirut, he said the Islamic Republic would welcome a return to relations with Saudi Arabia but had so far received mixed messages from the Kingdom.
