The Kremlin,
Moscow
With King Salman
bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.
President
of Russia Vladimir Putin: Your Majesty, colleagues and friends,
Let me cordially
welcome you to Russia’s capital, Moscow. Thank you very much
for accepting our invitation and coming on a visit. This is
the first visit of the King of Saudi Arabia to Russia
in the history of our relations, and this itself is
a landmark event.
Our relations have
a fairly long history. In 1926, 90 years ago, even more, our country,
the Soviet Union at that time, was the first state
to recognise the newly formed Kingdom created by Abdulaziz bin
Al Saud. And now we are very pleased to receive you here, Your
Majesty. I am confident that your visit will serve as a good
impetus for the development of our intergovernmental relations.
Welcome.
King Salman bin
Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia (retranslated): I am
grateful to you, Your Excellency, Mr President, for the warm
welcome.
We are happy
to visit your friendly country. We are striving to strengthen
bilateral relations in the interests of peace and security,
in the interests of developing the world economy.
