In the context of enhancing diplomatic and bilateral relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Iran has designated Ali Reza Inayati as its ambassador to Saudi Arabia, as per the trilateral agreement with China.
According to Saudi media, Ali Raza Inayati has previously served as an assistant to Iran’s Foreign Minister and also as the Director General of Gulf Affairs at the Iranian Foreign Office.
