Türkiye-Saudi Arabia Relations
27 JUNE 2022
Following Turkiye's diplomatic achievements in Saudi Arabia in late April, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visits President Erdoğan in Ankara, starting a new era of co-operation to strengthen political, economic and security ties. Despite years of strained ties over the blockade of Qatar (2017), and the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in (2018), both countries are now eager to restore the once lucrative trade relationship, increase the number of flights, ease all bilateral trade restrictions and explore new areas for investment.
