President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived in Riyadh on Tuesday, on the first day of his trip to Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Accompanied by a delegation of ministers and businesspeople, Erdoğan hopes to expand ties between the two countries and collaboration on regional issues. He was expected to meet Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) later on Tuesday at Al Yamamah Palace.
It is Erdoğan’s first visit abroad this year and comes at a time when the immediate region of both countries faces multiple threats, namely, Israel’s expansionist policies and the risk of an all-out Iran-U.S. conflict.
Erdoğan was welcomed by Riyadh Emir Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud at the airport before heading to the palace.
Speaking after a Cabinet meeting on Monday, Erdoğan said he would discuss bilateral ties and regional issues in his trips to Saudi Arabia and Egypt. “We will discuss joint steps for security and rebuilding of Gaza and efforts to de-escalate the Iran crisis,” he said.
