In a move that reflects a remarkable improvement in relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the Turkish Presidency announced on Monday that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan received in Ankara the Saudi Shura Council Speaker Abdullah Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Sheikh.

According to the Anadolu Agency, "The Turkish presidency did not share any further information about the closed-door meeting between Erdogan and Al-Sheikh."

Earlier, "Turkish Parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop and Al-Sheikh discussed the development of ties between the parliaments of Türkiye and Saudi Arabia, bilateral relations, and regional issues," reported the Turkish news agency.

Sentop told reporters after the meeting that the close cooperation between Turkey and Saudi Arabia across the Middle East and Northern Africa "is greatly beneficial for our region."

The Turkish official stressed the importance that Ankara lends to the security and stability of all Gulf states, adding, "We hope a positive atmosphere reigns in the entire region through joint efforts. Therefore, we attach great importance to regional economic integration and the development of infrastructure in the area."

In a related context, Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan confirmed in early December that Saudi Arabia will place a $5 billion deposit at Turkey's central bank "within days".

Al-Jadaan indicated that "there is great improvement in our relationship with Turkey and we aspire for investment opportunities in Turkey and other countries."

It is noteworthy that last April, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a trip to Saudi Arabia on the first visit since the killing of Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed inside the Kingdom's Istanbul consulate in October 2018.

Erdogan announced then that Ankara and Riyadh will start a "new era" to boost bilateral ties.

Later in June, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Mohammad bin Salman, landed in Turkey on an official visit.
