“They reviewed Saudi-Brazilian relations and ways to strengthen them toward a closer partnership in various fields, and the importance of intensifying joint bilateral work on regional and international issues,” the foreign ministry said.

Prince Faisal met separately with his Brazilian counterpart where they stressed the need to intensify joint work on regional and international issues that serve the interests of their two countries, including efforts aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, clearing the Middle East of weapons of mass destruction, and cooperating to combat terrorism, the ministry said.

They also discussed the role of both countries “in laying the foundations for regional and international security and stability,” including the Kingdom’s initiative to end the Yemeni crisis and reach a comprehensive political solution.

The talks also discussed aspects of cooperation in energy and developing investments between the two countries, especially in light of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
