MOSCOW: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah has met with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in Moscow and discussed bilateral ties and regional developments, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
The two officials reviewed the historical friendship and cooperation between their countries and peoples and explored ways to further strengthen and develop these ties across various fields.
The two sides also held an official round of talks, during which they highlighted the deep-rooted ties between the Kingdom and Russia, and discussed key regional developments along with ongoing efforts to address them.
