Saudi deputy foreign minister meets Russian ambassador

Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Khuraiji on Sunday received the ambassador of Russia to Saudi Arabia, Sergei Kozlov, to review relations.
They discussed regional and international developments of common concern and ways of enhancing relations that serve the interests of both countries.

Just four days earlier on April 5, the Admiral Gorshkov became the first Russian warship to dock in Saudi Arabia, spending two days at Jeddah Islamic Port as it prepared to return home.

Meetings were held between the assistant commander of the Saudi Western Fleet, Rear Admiral Mansour bin Saud Al-Juaid, and Russian Northern Fleet missile ship division Commander, Captain Oleg Gladky.

The meeting was attended Kozlov, the Consul General of Russia in Jeddah, Yusup Abakarov, as well as the Permanent Representative of Russia to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Ramzan Abdulatipov.

On March 23, Kozlov also met Deputy Minister of Multilateral International Affairs, Dr. Abdulrahman Alrassi, to review relations.

The two countries’ political delegations have exchanged visits and meetings throughout the years that have strengthened relations.

On March 9, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan met Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov during an official visit to Moscow.

Prince Faisal affirmed the Kingdom’s support for all efforts to find a political solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and said it was ready to mediate.

The pair reviewed the historical friendship and strategic cooperation between the two countries and their people, and ways of further enhancing cooperation.

The two also emphasized the depth of relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia and the importance of continuing consultation and cooperation.

Lavrov praised the Kingdom’s efforts to regional and international peace, including in Yemen.
