Iran had appointed an ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the first time since 2016.
Iran has appointed Reza Ameri as its first ambassador to the United Arab Emirates after eight years of political strife.
Ameri previously held the position of director general of the Iranian expatriate office at Iran’s Foreign Ministry.
His prior diplomatic posts included serving as Iran’s ambassador to Algeria, Sudan and Eritrea.
The move comes after the UAE in August upgraded ties with Iran and announced the return of its ambassador to Tehran.
UAE had downgraded ties with Iran in 2016 after Saudi Arabia broke ties with the latter.
