BUENOS AIRES, December 2. /TASS/. The concrete date of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Saudi Arabia in 2019 will be coordinated soon, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"There are no concrete dates yet, they will be coordinated," Peskov said in response to a TASS question on whether Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed on any concrete dates at their Saturday's meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit.

Asked about whether Putin's visit will take place in 2019, Peskov said: "Yes, of course."

Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said earlier that "political dialogue [between Russia and Saudi Arabia] is of regular and comprehensive character." "On 5 October 2017, Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud visited Russia for the first time in history. On the agenda is Vladimir Putin's possible visit to Saudi Arabia," Ushakov said.
