In April 2023 Saudi Arabia and Iran’s foreign ministers met in Beijing to discuss reopening their diplomatic missions in their respective countries, to encourage visits of official and private delegations, and to facilitate visas for Iranian and Saudi citizens.

We shouldn't get involved as both countries are dictatorships, we should only get involved if a stable liberal democratic country is under threat.
@9J25S8V 4mos4MO
Either way, significant progress is unrealistic as both countries are moving in the opposite directions
@9P7LLKJ6mos6MO
Not at any cost or ridiculous bank rolling of diplomatic partys and stupid wages and budgets that are provided to foriegn emissaries.
@9P6LYBD6mos6MO
Yes, but we should not be involved unless invited, we should always promote diplomatic peace talks during foreign conflicts

@9MPZDCT7mos7MO
we should only get involved in foreign conflicts if we have a realistic opportunity to dominate their national politics
