Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in Jeddah on Friday in the highest-level talks since the countries reconciled after years of rivalry.
The unscheduled meeting comes a day after Amirabdollahian arrived in the kingdom and declared ties between the countries were "on the right track" following talks with his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan.
Mohammed bin Salman has pushed to reorient Saudi foreign policy in recent years amid questions over its historically close relationship with the US.
Iran's Press TV cited the Iranian delegation as saying the meeting had been "very good".
Saudi state news agency SPA said they discussed international and regional developments.
