Upon the directives of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Saudi Arabia hosted on Tuesday talks between the United States and Ukraine in Jeddah as part of the Kingdom's efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia’s efforts to resolve the crisis are thanks to its balanced relationships with various stakeholders and its commitment to promoting international security and peace.

This commitment stems from the Kingdom’s belief in upholding international laws and standards, with dialogue seen as the most effective way to resolve disputes and bring viewpoints closer together, ultimately strengthening international security and stability.

At the summit, the US was represented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, while the Ukrainian side was represented by Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, Minister for Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah and Minister of State and Cabinet Member Dr. Musaed bin Mohammed Al-Aiban also attended the talks.
