RIYADH, Saudi Arabia

Saudi King Salman bin Abdelaziz met on Sunday with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Riyadh.

Talks tackled bilateral relations and issues of mutual concern, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

Cavusoglu’s visit comes shortly after Riyadh and Ankara signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a high-level strategic cooperation council.

The deal was signed during King Salman’s visit to the Turkish capital earlier this month.
