Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Khuraiji visited Ankara on Wednesday and met with Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, and his counterparts Burhanettin Duran and Nuh Yilmaz.

Al-Khuraiji addressed relations between Saudi Arabia and Türkiye during his meetings, attended by the Saudi Ambassador to Türkiye, Fahd bin Asaad Abu Al-Nasr.

The Saudi deputy minister also held political consultations between the Saudi and Turkish foreign ministries in Ankara with Yilmaz.

During the meetings, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye discussed strengthening their bilateral relations and advancing cooperation. The officials also addressed issues of mutual interest and the latest regional developments.

In mid-July, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering ties across various sectors, including the activation of a joint coordination council.

The announcement followed a meeting in Istanbul between Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

On his part, Fidan participated in an expanded international meeting on Syria hosted by Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

The gathering, chaired by Prince Faisal bin Farhan, underscored Riyadh’s pivotal role in the region and its steadfast support for ensuring Syria’s security, stability, and territorial integrity, free from foreign interference.
