Prince Salman highlighted the deep-rooted relations between Saudi Arabia and Spain under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, King Juan Carlos and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
“Prince Salman and Arguelles discussed major regional and international developments and expressed their views,” the SPA said.
Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khaled bin Sultan and senior officials attended the talks.
Prince Khaled later held a separate meeting with Arguelles and his delegation and emphasized Saudi Arabia’s desire to strengthen military ties with Spain.
Arguelles said he was happy to visit Saudi Arabia and meet with its officials, emphasizing the strength of bilateral ties.
Last June Prince Salman visited Madrid and met with Spanish Defense Minister Pedro Morenes.
He said his visit to Spain was fruitful, adding that both countries would benefit from it.
“Saudi Arabia and Spain have identical views on all issues discussed during my meetings with King Carlos, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, Defense Minister Morenes and Foreign Minister José Manuel,” Prince Salman said.
