Erdogan says Saudi Crown Prince MBS to visit Turkiye next week

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) will visit Ankara next week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said, as Turkiye and Saudi Arabia put a bitter rift, which had made the two countries bitter opponents over the past few years, behind them.

The visit, announced by Erdogan on Friday and scheduled for June 22, will be MBS’s first visit to Turkiye since the 2018 killing of Saudi insider-turned-critic Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul, which shocked the world and dealt a heavy blow to ties between the two countries.

“The crown prince will visit Wednesday, we will welcome him,” Erdogan told reporters.

“God willing we will have the opportunity to assess to what much higher level we can take Turkiye-Saudi Arabia relations,” Erdogan said.
