MOSCOW: Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov visited Saudi Arabia on Sunday ahead talks between Russia and the United States in the Kingdom scheduled for next week.
Siluanov was speaking at an event called AlUla Conference for Emerging Market Economies, organized by the Saudi Ministry of Finance and the International Monetary Fund.
US and Russian officials will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to start talks aimed at ending the nearly three-year war in Ukraine, a US lawmaker and a source familiar with the planning said on Saturday.
Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov along with Siluanov and the central bank’s governor Elvira Nabiullina held talks with President of United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on February 15.
Speaking at an event, Siluanov highlighted Russia’s willingness to restructure the debt of foreign countries.
“During the last 25 years we restructured debt of 22 countries for the amount of almost $30 billion. A similar amount we had restructured through bilateral agreements,” Siluanov said.

Saudi Ambassador meets FM and praises close ties with Japan
- He said the relations between the two countries have been characterized by sincerity, honesty, and commitment
TOKYO: After meeting Japanese Foreign Minister MOTEGI Toshimitsu on the sidelines of the 19th Annual Japan International Manga Awards, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Japan Dr. Ghazi Faisal Binzagr says the Kingdom’s 70-year relationship with Japan is testament “to what trust between civilizations and countries can build.”
“In an increasingly turbulent world, relationships built on trust, respect and long-term vision remain part of a deeper path toward human stability,” he stated.
He said the relations between the two countries have been characterized by sincerity, honesty, and commitment, and reinforced through decades of communication between the leaders of the two countries.
He recalled the visit of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud in 2017, which, he said, ushered in a new era of cooperation through Vision Saudi-Japan 2030.
Ambassador Binzagr described Saudi Arabia’s ties with Japan as “one of the more important relationships in international relations, backed by honesty, trust, and unwavering commitment. I hope that the relationship between the two countries will continue to grow deeper on this foundation of trust.”
