MOSCOW, May 30. /TASS/. Saudi Arabia and Russia move at a quick pace towards overcoming the existing differences, Saudi Arabian Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Muhammad bin Salman al Saud said at talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.

"Relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia are seeing one of their best stages at the moment," the prince said.

"The two countries have a lot of points of mutual understanding. As for the points on which we have differences, a clear mechanism exists to overcome them and we are progressing at a quick pace in this respect," he added.

The defense minister believes the current visit of a Saudi delegation to Moscow will help strengthen bilateral relations.
