Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said he will visit Saudi Arabia in the near future.
Novak said that he planned to visit Saudi Arabia in the near future to meet with Saudi officials ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to the Middle Eastern country in October.
"We will continue our international cooperation with our colleagues, with my friend Mr. Falih," Reuters cited the Russian minister as saying.
A source close to the official said at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) that Novak will visit Saudi Arabia next week.
