Saudi Arabia looks forward to welcoming U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the near future to strengthen ongoing "positive" discussions, though no meeting has been scheduled yet in Riyadh, an official from the Kingdom's foreign ministry said on Friday.

“Saudi Arabia and the United States are working very productively across all levels of government to advance common interests of security and economic stability... Saudi and U.S. officials are in constant contact at a technical level," the official added.
