Saudi Foreign Minister, Faisal Bin Farhan, and his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, met yesterday to discuss strengthening mutual relations.
The official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the two ministers had signed a cooperation agreement between the two countries. Their meeting has come on the occasion of the fourth edition of the Political and Foreign Affairs Committee under the China-Saudi High-Level Joint Committee.
