The visit by Minister al Jubeir to Spain takes place within the framework of the traditional and friendly relations with Saudi Arabia that cover many areas of shared interest, and provides continuity to the visit by H.M. the King of Saudi Arabia in January 2017.
At the meeting, the two ministers agreed to strengthen political dialogue and economic and trade relations. Saudi Arabia is Spain's leading trading partner in the Near East, the second leading Arab investor in Spain and the second leading destination for Spanish investments in the Arab world. The two ministers agreed to continue exploring the potential contribution of Spanish companies to the diversification of the Saudi economy with a view to the Saudi economic reform programme - Vision 2030.
They also addressed issues that affect regional peace and security, as well as stepping up the international response in the fight against terrorism.
