Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Nikola Selakovic met today with the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on a non-residential basis, Osamah Dakhel R. Al Ahmadi.
In the conversation, Minister Selaković reminded that Serbia and Saudi Arabia will mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year, emphasizing that it would be a great opportunity for the country to open an embassy in Belgrade, bearing in mind that Serbia already has a diplomatic mission in Riyadh.
Selakovic assessed that the two countries had plenty of untapped potential for the promotion of bilateral cooperation, both at the political level and in the field of economy.
According to the Head of Serbian diplomacy, a visit to Serbia by representatives of the royal family, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud or Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, would be a cornerstone for further enhancing the relations between the two countries.
Minister Selakovic took the opportunity to extend an invitation to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, for a bilateral visit to Serbia, noting that it would be very useful for the two Ministries of Foreign Affairs to establish the practice of regular annual political consultations.
Selakovic expressed special satisfaction with the fact that Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud had visited Belgrade in October last year and participated in the Commemorative Event on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the First Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Significant attention at the meeting was paid to the opportunities for intensifying economic cooperation by encouraging trade and investment, as well as the possibility of changing the visa regime.
