MOSCOW/RIYADH April 2, 2026 – Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to hold a telephone conversation with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud today, according to a breaking report from BRICS News.
The announcement comes as the two leaders maintain regular high-level contact on bilateral relations, energy cooperation, and regional stability. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov has confirmed the call is planned for Thursday, following Putin’s recent discussions with Egypt’s foreign minister.
This marks another chapter in the close diplomatic engagement between Moscow and Riyadh. The pair last spoke on March 2, 2026, when they addressed the escalation in the Middle East triggered by U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran. Both expressed deep concern over the risk of wider conflict spreading across Arab states and stressed the urgent need for political and diplomatic solutions.
Earlier, on February 3, 2026, Putin and the Crown Prince discussed progress within the OPEC+ alliance and efforts to ensure stability in global energy markets.
Analysts expect today’s call to cover:
– Coordination on OPEC+ oil production policies
– Latest developments in the Middle East, including the situation around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz
– Broader bilateral ties in politics, trade, economy, and humanitarian affairs
No official agenda or readout has been released yet by the Kremlin or Saudi Press Agency. Updates are anticipated once the conversation concludes.
The phone call underscores Saudi Arabia’s strategy of balancing relations with major global powers while Russia continues to play an active role in energy geopolitics and Middle East diplomacy.
Life News Agency will provide further details as they become available.
