The Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, has received a written message from the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The message addressed relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia and discussed ways to further consolidate them across all fields.
The Russian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Sergey Kozlov, on Wednesday handed the message to the Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister, Waleed Al-Khuraiji, at the Foreign Ministry headquarters in Riyadh.
Al-Khuraiji received the message on behalf of Prince Faisal bin Farhan. During the reception, Al-Khuraiji and Kozlov reviewed ties between Saudi Arabia and Russia and discussed topics of mutual interest.
Earlier in July, Prince Faisal bin Farhan met with Lavrov during an official visit to Moscow. Both diplomats reviewed bilateral relations and the historical friendship between their nations. They also explored ways to further bolster ties and expand cooperation across various fields.
Moreover, the two ministers discussed the recent developments in the region and efforts made to address them.
Prince Faisal also praised the robust Saudi-Russian relations and the growing tourist activity between the two countries.
“We hope that the visa exemption agreement will significantly foster tourism cooperation and expand direct flights between both countries,” he said.
