On Thursday,  Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and US President Joe Biden discussed regional and global stability during a phone call on Thursday.

During the talks, the two leaders stressed the importance of strengthening the partnership between the two countries and the depth of their historical relations.

On his part, King Salman congratulated Biden on taking office last month, expressing thanks to Washington over its commitment to defend the Kingdom against any threats and his assurance that Iran would not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

He added that the Kingdom was keen to reach a comprehensive political solution in Yemen and to achieve security and development for the Yemeni people.

The talks dealt with the most important issues in the region and reviewed developments of common interest, the report said.

The two sides discussed Iran’s behavior in the region, its destabilizing activities, and its support for terrorist groups.

Biden commended the Kingdom’s support for UN efforts to reach a truce and a cease-fire in Yemen.

A statement from the White House said the US president told King Salman he would work to make the bilateral relationship as strong and transparent as possible.
