Their discussions touched on bilateral and regional issues, the report said without elaborating.
The visit comes at a time of political uncertainty in Yemen, where Hadi last month replaced veteran strongman Ali Abdullah Saleh, who stepped down after 33 years at the helm following a year-long uprising.
Saleh’s opponents in Yemen’s new coalition government last week accused his party of trying to hamper political transition in the country, which is also suffering from multiple security and humanitarian challenges.
Two days after all but two members of the ex-president’s General People’s Congress walked out of a cabinet meeting, his opponents charged that GPC figures were behind “smear campaigns” against Prime Minister Mohamed Basindawa.
Saudi Arabia played a crucial role in forging the Gulf-brokered accord that paved the way for Saleh’s departure.
The kingdom is also a key provider of aid to its impoverished neighbour, and is due to host the next “Friends of Yemen” meeting of donor countries.
Britain’s foreign ministry said on its website that the meeting in Riyadh will take place on May 23.
The forum was set up at an international conference in London in January 2010 to help Sanaa combat a resurgent threat from Al Qaeda in the ancestral homeland of slain jihadist leader Osama bin Laden, as well as other security challenges.
Donor representatives meeting for preparatory talks in Riyadh last week heard of growing concern about Yemen’s aid situation, which a senior official from the Gulf Co-operation Council said was being “seriously hampered” by the political crisis.
The UN World Food Programme has warned that nearly 5mn Yemenis, or a quarter of the population, face “serious food insecurity.”
The US raised concerns on Sunday with Hadi that members of the former government were disrupting the political transition, the White House said.
John Brennan, President Barack Obama’s assistant for homeland security and counter-terrorism, met Hadi to discuss the situation.
Brennan told Hadi “it is essential that all Yemeni political actors, especially those from the previous government, play a constructive role in the transition process, and he expressed concern over recent reports that some former government officials are being disruptive”, the White House said in a statement.
