Russian diplomatic sources said in an interview with the "Riyadh Post" that preparations are underway in Moscow for the reception of the Saudi monarch, which will be in early October.
The visit has been delayed several times for unknown reasons. Although Russian officials have announced on several occasions King Salman's visit to Moscow, the event that Russia has been waiting for months has not yet been achieved, while well-informed sources told the Post that the date of the visit will be next month.
The visit will be the culmination of a new period of Saudi-Russian relations, which have seen improvement and coordination at the political and economic levels.
The last two weeks witnessed coordination, visits and bilateral meetings between the two countries' officials. The most recent was the visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Saudi Arabia, where he discussed with his Saudi counterpart Adel Al-Jubeir the coordination of efforts to advance the peace process in Syria. During which he met Saudi King Salman.
Saudi Arabia and Russia share positions and visions to resolve the Syrian crisis by uniting opposition groups to create new areas to ease the escalation.
Saudi-Russian coordination is more visible on the economic level after Saudi Arabia and Russia lead OPEC and non-OPEC nations to sign a historic cut-off agreement in an attempt to end the collapse of oil prices, and several reports suggest the two countries are now considering extending the agreement longer.
