🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a joint news conference with Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud following talks in Moscow (July 4, 2025)
💬 I have just held talks with my colleague and friend, Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.
We focused on the development outlook for friendly Russian-Saudi relations and expressed support for continuing our collaboration in all spheres to further strengthen them. We noted the positive dynamics of our political dialogue, primarily at the highest level, but also at the level of our Foreign Ministries. We welcomed our mutual intention to stimulate our interparliamentary contacts, which are actively developing.
We agree on the need to intensify delegation exchanges for implementing the agreements reached during the working visit of President Vladimir Putin to Saudi Arabia in December 2023 and his subsequent contacts with Prime Minister Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.
📈 We discussed our trade and economic ties, acknowledging the positive trend in the development of mutual trade in the past few years, as well as in the first few months of this year. The Joint Intergovernmental Russian-Saudi Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation is of key importance for identifying new possibilities for making full use of our two countries’ potential. <...>
Our countries are committed to continuing their close cooperation in the OPEC+ format. Just like our Saudi friends, we believe that this unique mechanism of the leading oil exporting countries is extremely important for balancing supply and demand on the global energy market. <...>
We discussed international and regional matters focusing on the #MiddleEast, and welcomed the ceasefire between Israel and Iran expressing hope that it would be a durable solution and open the door to resuming talks.
Both Sides believe it is imperative to refrain from taking any actions that could spark renewed hostilities. Any and all arising differences of opinion should be resolved exclusively through political and diplomatic means in full adherence to the #UNCharter and with the strong involvement of the countries that have leverage over the parties’ positions. Sure enough, Saudi Arabia and Russia are among them. <...>
Our positions on the Middle East settlement, the Palestinian issue, particularly the situation in #Gaza, overlap as well. We consider it mandatory to take urgent measures to de-escalate the situation and to provide humanitarian assistance to civilians in the Gaza Strip. The situation is not any better on the West Bank of the Jordan River. We advocate for the earliest possible resumption of talks between Palestinians and Israelis on the final status of Palestinian territories and for the implementation of the widely known UN resolutions on creating Palestinian state.
We support bringing a comprehensive relief to the long-standing crisis in #Syria based on maintaining its unity, territorial integrity, and sovereignty.
Russia counts on Saudi Arabia to be properly represented at the first-ever Russia-Arab League summit in Moscow in October 2025. The date has been determined.
🤝 I thanked our Saudi friends for their balanced position on Ukraine affairs and their genuine desire to contribute to peaceful settlement, including by providing a platform for #RussiaUS contacts. Our Saudi friends are aware that achieving political and diplomatic settlement is impossible without addressing the underlying causes of the conflict, as President Putin reiterated in yesterday’s telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump.
❗️ An outcome that does not fully take into account Russia’s legitimate security interests and does not guarantee non-recurrence of violations of rights of the Russian and Russian-speaking population does not align with our expectations.
As always, the talks were held in atmosphere of mutual trust. I am satisfied with the outcomes.
