Saudi Crown Prince Engages in Strategic Discussions with US Secretary of State in Riyadh

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio review bilateral relations and regional developments during high-profile meetings.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman convened with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh on Monday.

This meeting marked Rubio's first visit to Saudi Arabia since he assumed his role as Secretary of State.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman welcomed Rubio and his delegation, expressing appreciation for their visit.

Rubio reciprocated, highlighting his pleasure in meeting the Crown Prince.

The discussions focused on enhancing bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States across various sectors.

Key topics of conversation included the ongoing developments in both regional and international contexts.

The leaders exchanged views on these matters in an effort to bolster security and stability in the region.

Accompanying the Crown Prince during the reception were several notable figures, including Saudi Ambassador to the United States Princess Reema bint Bandar, Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Minister of State and National Security Advisor Dr. Musaed Al-Aiban, and Secretary to the Crown Prince Dr. Bandar Al-Rasheed.

On the American side, attendees included National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia Alison Dilworth, US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff, as well as other senior officials.

Earlier in the day, Rubio held a separate meeting with Prince Faisal bin Farhan at the Saudi Foreign Ministry headquarters, where they discussed bilateral relations and exchanged insights on regional and global developments.

The visit is also aligned with upcoming US-Russian negotiations regarding Ukraine, set for Tuesday.

Rubio's discussions aimed to prepare the ground for an anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, facilitated by the Crown Prince.

In conjunction with the Secretary of State's visit, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Riyadh to engage with a Russian delegation, which is expected to include Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov, a senior foreign policy advisor to President Putin.
