Running from May 7-10, Iran Expo 2023 is an exhibition focused on Iranian export potential and sponsored by the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran and the Ministry of Industry, Mining, and Trade.
"In the next few days, a trade delegation from Saudi Arabia will come to Iran accompanied by a deputy minister to attend the Iran Expo exhibition," Reuters quoted Safari as telling Iranian media.
In a mediated agreement brokered by China, Saudi Arabia and Iran announced on March 10 their decision to restore diplomatic ties and reopen their respective embassies and consulates within two months at most.
This development was broadly welcomed by the Arab world and the international community.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani announced that Iranian missions in Saudi Arabia have taken their first steps to resume diplomatic activity in the Kingdom.
