“Discussions touched on recent regional and international developments, efforts aimed at bolstering security and stability were highlighted, and several matters of mutual interest were addressed,” SPA added.
Lavrov is on a visit to Riyadh where earlier in day he participated in the seventh GCC-Russia Joint Ministerial Meeting of Strategic Dialogue.
Speaking at a news conference, Lavrov said that Russia has invited MBS to attend a BRICS summit in the city of Kazan from Oct. 22-24.
The bloc of developing nations last year invited Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates to become members, in a move aimed at accelerating its push to reshuffle a world order it sees as outdated.
