After 25 years, Saudi Embassy officially reopens in Baghdad

Saudi Arabia has reopened its embassy in Baghdad after a closure that lasted 25 years.
  • The kingdom closed the embassy in 1990, after Saddam Hussein ordered an invasion of Saudi ally Kuwait.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari accepted the credentials of Ambassador Thamir al-Sabhan. Both diplomats underlined the necessity for their countries to boost bilateral relations in all fields.
