On Monday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss bilateral relations.
During the call, the two leaders discussed bilateral relations and opportunities to strengthen them in various domains in order to advance the two countries' common interests, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
They also discussed current events in the region and around the world.
Meanwhile, 10 Downing Street stated that the necessity of G20 countries making real progress on climate change and carbon reductions ahead of the COP26 Summit in Glasgow next month was agreed upon.
"The prime minister hoped to see a Net Zero commitment and an ambitious Nationally Determined Contribution from Saudi Arabia, noting the country’s recent leadership on addressing climate change," his office said.
They also talked about ways to enhance trade and investment between the UK and Saudi Arabia ahead of the Global Investment Summit in London next week.
Johnson also praised the recent opening of a consultation on a free trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
In the weeks leading up to the G20 and COP summits, they decided to continue working closely together on shared priorities, according to Downing Street.
