Regional and international issues were discussed, as well as cooperation in economy, trade, investments and culture, SPA said on Sunday.
In addition, the parties discussed cooperation within the framework of the Saudi plan "Vision 2030" to diversify the economy of Saudi Arabia by cutting the link to income from hydrocarbon production.
After the talks, Mohammed bin Salman and Kishida held a meeting with Japanese business representatives, SPA specified.
Japan and Saudi Arabia agreed to start a new strategic dialogue at the level of foreign ministers in order to expand contacts between the two countries in the field of politics, diplomacy and security, Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said after Kishida’s talks in Jeddah.
The Japanese foreign ministry announced earlier this month that Kishida was going to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar from July 16-18 to discuss a variety of issues and expand business opportunities for the country's enterprises.
