During the talks, Selakovic recalled that Serbia and Saudi Arabia will mark 10 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations next year, emphasising that it will be a great opportunity for the country to open an embassy in Belgrade, bearing in mind that Serbia already has a diplomatic mission in Riyadh.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs assessed that the two countries have numerous untapped potentials for the improvement of bilateral cooperation, both at the political level and in the field of the economy.
According to Selakovic, a visit to Serbia by representatives of the royal family, King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud or Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud would be a cornerstone for further improving relations between the two countries.
On this occasion, Selakovic sent an invitation to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud for a bilateral visit to Serbia, stating that it would be very useful for the two Ministries of Foreign Affairs to establish the practice of regular annual political consultation.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed special satisfaction with the fact that Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud was in Belgrade in October last year and participated in the Commemorative Gathering on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the First Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement.
The two officials paid significant attention to the possibilities of intensifying economic cooperation by encouraging trade and investment, as well as the possibility of changing the visa regime, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
