Stephane Dujarric in reply to a question at a daily press briefing whether the re-opening of the Iranian embassy in Saudi Arabia is a positive move in the region, said, "I think any time two countries, especially two countries with so much influence in that area -- in the Persian Gulf -- are engaged in open and constructive dialogue, it is helpful to the region," Xinhua reported.
Iran re-opened its embassy in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after seven years of closure, nearly three months after the two countries agreed to restore bilateral ties under a China-brokered deal.
In March, Saudi Arabia and Iran reached a groundbreaking agreement in Beijing to resume diplomatic relations and re-open their embassies and missions.
