Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi on Saturday will begin a two-day visit to Saudi Arabia during which he will preside over the Iranian delegation to the meetings of the Iranian-Saudi joint committee, which will be held for the first time in Riyadh to discuss fields of bilateral cooperation in economic, cultural and political areas.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Muhammad Haidar said that Kharazi will visit Saudi Arabia to attend the meetings of the joint committee, which was formed in May during the visit of Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal to Tehran.

In a statement he made on Monday, the Iranian deputy foreign minister said that Saudi-Iranian relations are continuously improving in all areas of cooperation.
