RIYADH, Oct 21 — Saudi Arabia’s Prime Minister cum Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman granted an audience to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Al-Yamamah Palace today.

During today’s meeting, they also discussed several issues of mutual interest, including development opportunities in both countries.
Besides attending the Asean-GCC Summit, Anwar also discussed boosting bilateral and economic ties between Malaysia and Saudi Arabia during his two-day working visit.
On October 5, Anwar received a phone call from the Crown Prince, inviting him to visit Saudi Arabia.
