Iran appointed new Ambassador to UAE.

Iran has appointed Reza Ameri as its new ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ahead of an expected meeting between the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia in China. The UAE downgraded diplomatic relations with Iran in 2016, but has increasingly re-engaged with the country in recent years. The appointment of Ameri comes as Iran and Saudi Arabia prepare to discuss the reopening of diplomatic missions. Iran’s President Raisi has accepted an invitation for a state visit to Saudi Arabia, and Iran is also working to improve relations with other Arab nations.
