In a Friday phone call, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud discussed efforts to resolve crises in the Middle East.

Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed also spoke about bilateral cooperation and efforts to expand trade and economic ties, a Kremlin statement said.
“Satisfaction was expressed with the level of coordination within OPEC Plus in order to ensure the stability of the world oil market,” it said.
They also discussed the prospects of cooperation between Saudi Arabia and the BRICS countries-Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa-the statement added.
“Vladimir Putin congratulated the leadership and people of the Kingdom on the Eid al-Fitir holiday, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims,” it said.
