RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman met with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington on Monday.

The pair discussed the strategic relationship between the Kingdom and the US, and “explored ways to bolster our defense cooperation,” Prince Khalid wrote in a post on social media platform X early Tuesday.

“We also discussed regional and international developments and efforts to promote security and stability,” wrote the Saudi minister, who is on an official visit to the country.

The visit aims to strengthen US-Saudi relations, and Prince Khalid will discuss issues of common interest during it.
