Saudi Arabia said on Friday it commended the phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin and it welcomed the idea of them meeting in the kingdom.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it could take several months to arrange a meeting between Putin and Trump, possibly in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The two leaders spoke on Wednesday and announced their intention to meet face-to-face.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was the first foreign leader Trump called after taking office. He described the Crown Prince as "a fantastic guy" during his speech via video link to an audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Putin, who visited Saudi Arabia and the UAE in 2023, said last September that he was grateful to Mohammed bin Salman for helping to organise the biggest U.S.-Russian prisoner swap since the Cold War
