Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stressed in a phone call with US President Donald Trump the “necessity of prioritising dialogue to de-escalate tensions” in the Middle East, Reuters reports, citing Saudi Arabia’s state news agency SPA.

The crown prince stressed the importance of paving the way for “diplomatic solutions that yield positive results to preserve the security and stability of the region, and prevent being drawn into a broader conflict whose repercussions affect regional and international security and stability”.

Areas of existing cooperation between the two countries were also reviewed, along with ways to strengthen them.
