CAIRO- On Tuesday, in a tweet, Prince Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Defence Minister said that he met with Mark Esper, U.S. Secretary of Defence and that they discussed challenges mutually faced by both of the countries.
He emphasised how regional and international security is served by the ongoing military cooperation between the two countries.
This meeting came not long after the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander, on Friday at Baghdad airport in a U.S. drone strike which sparked the escalation of regional tensions.
