There is always something new in the relations between our two friendly countries, which we seek to strengthen and develop at all levels,” he said.
The visit of the Saudi foreign minister to Moscow comes after his visit to Ukraine on Sunday for the first time since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries 30 years ago.
