Tehran: Saudi Arabia's Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud has arrived in Tehran on a significant visit, leading a high-ranking delegation of military officials. The visit marks an important step in the relations between the two countries as the discussions will focus on developing defense relations, enhancing regional cooperation, and promoting peace and stability.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Prince Khalid is scheduled to meet with Major General Mohammad Baqeri, chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, along with other key military and political figures. The meetings aim to foster collaboration in addressing regional challenges, including the fight against terrorism.
