RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman received a phone call from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Saudi state media said on Saturday.

In the call, the crown prince underscored the Kingdom’s support for all international efforts to resolve the Ukrainian-Russian crisis, according to the Saudi Press Agency and Al-Ekhbariya Televisiom.

Zelensky expressed his appreciation for Saudi Arabia’s hosting of a meeting of national security advisers and representatives from a number of countries in Jeddah, where they discussed the Ukrainian crisis.

The meeting, held early last month, was attended by representatives from 40 countries, including the US and China.

Ukraine proposed a 10-point peace formula at the discussions, which was reportedly supported by several countries.

The crown prince also met with the Ukrainian leader in Jeddah on May 19, 2023, on the sidelines of the Arab Summit.
