Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud discussed bilateral ties in a call on Tuesday, the Turkish presidency said, the second such conversation between the two leaders in less than a month.
“During the call, relations between the two countries were discussed. The Turkish President also congratulated the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques on the occasion of the blessed Eid al-Fitr,” the Saudi news agency (SPA) reported.
Turkey is seeking to improve ties with the Gulf Arab state after they were thrown into crisis by the 2018 murder in Istanbul of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Ankara’s attempts at exploiting the case politically.
