Its officially confirmed now, no date though. Xi is going to visit Saudi Arabia in the "near future"
China's President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Saudi Arabia in the near future, the kingdom's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, said on Thursday.
The announcement of the visit, and summits between Middle East nations and the Chinese government, came after talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Prince Faisal.
The talks were the fourth meeting of the political and diplomatic sub-committee under the China-Saudi Arabia high-level joint committee.
"Our meeting today comes at an important time, as it precedes the expected visit of the Chinese president to the kingdom and before the Saudi-Chinese summit, the Gulf-Chinese summit, and the Arab-Chinese summit, which the Kingdom views with great interest and is working to finalise all arrangements for it, for its success," Prince Faisal told Saudi TV outlet Al Ekhbariya.
