MOSCOW, December 4. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to visit the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, but it is too early to speak about the timeframe of these visits, presidential aide Yury Ushakov told reporters on Tuesday.

"No thorough preparations are currently underway, but there is an invitation, so we cannot rule out that our President will go there [to the UAE] sooner or later," he added, pointing out that specific terms of this trip are not being elaborated either through diplomatic channels or through the Kremlin.

"Of course, a reciprocal visit will take place, but we need to coordinate its timeframe, which hasn’t been done yet," Ushakov stated commenting on Putin’s planned visit to Saudi Arabia. The presidential aide noted that an invitation sent to Putin to visit Saudi Arabia was confirmed around one and a half months ago.
