[PJL]

"Russian President Vladimir Putin paid an official visit to Saudi Arabia on 14 October, which marked his first visit to the Kingdom in twelve years. Russia considers coordination with Saudi Arabia as a necessary element to ensure security in the Middle East and North Africa, Putin said. On Monday, Russia and Saudi Arabia signed over 20 documents on the sidelines of President Vladimir Putin's visit to Riyadh, including the charter for long-term cooperation between the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-cartel oil producers. In addition, a statement of intent was signed between Russia's State Space Corporation Roscosmos and the Saudi Space Commission about cooperating in financing space exploration and the GLONASS global navigation satellite system."...........https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/2...nce-in-riyadh/

Putin want to sell the Saudis weapons . That is his real goal . also if he can scam the saudis out of a few billion that would be his second goal.

Plus he needs someone reliable to keep that that oil coming. He knows the Iranians just aren't reliable and can never be counted on.

The meeting with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman comes following attacks on Saudi oil installations that Riyadh and the US have blamed on Iran, an ally of Moscow.
Oil will be “the main topic of discussion” between the leaders, Russian political analyst Fydor Lukyanov said, as a deal between the 24 members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is due to expire next spring.

Russia is not a member of OPEC, headed by Saudi Arabia, but it has worked closely with the group to limit supply and push up prices after a 2014 slump that badly hit the Russian economy.
