TEHRAN: Iran plans to send a delegation to Saudi Arabia to discuss new arrangements for Haj, Iran’s Tasnim news agency said on Wednesday, the first official visit by either side since ties were severed in January.
The head of Iran’s Haj organization, Saeed Ohadi, said Saudi authorities had invited Tehran to send a delegation to Riyadh on April 14 to discuss preparations for Haj, which is expected to fall again in September this year.
Ohadi told state news agency IRNA that the Iranian delegation members were still waiting for their visas and were expecting to meet the Kingdom's Haj minister.
“The fate of this year’s Haj (for Iran) will be decided in this meeting,” Ohadi said, according Tasnim news agency.
