Saudi King Gives Instructions to Prepare Visit to Russia - Russian Lawmaker

"Valentina Ivanovna [Matvienko] repeatedly mentioned during the conversation that before the visit she had a conversation with Vladimir Putin, who confirmed once more time his invitation for the King. It is significant that the king already gave the instructions, and agreed that the visit should be well-prepared, and therefore all the documents that might be signed during the visit should be well-prepared as well," Umakhanov said.

Matvienko arrived in Saudi Arabia earlier on Sunday. She said that Russia handed over to Saudi Arabia 12 draft intergovernmental agreements that would open new opportunities for boosting bilateral cooperation.
