Vladimir Putin's visit to Saudi Arabia is historic in the sense that it is taking place for the first time during his second term and reflects a qualitatively new level of relations between the two states compared with his visit in 2007 and even compared with last year’s visit to the Russian Federation of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters.
“During today’s talks with the King and the Crown Prince, we stated that our relations were developing progressively in all areas, including trade, the economy, investment (I want to highlight this area), the military-technical sphere and in the area of foreign policy coordination", - the message reads.
