The main topic of the meetings is cooperation in the military sphere. Ukraine has already sent its experts to the Middle East to help combat Iranian drones, as Ukraine's experience in countering "Shaheds" is considered unique in the world.
According to earlier media reports, the countries are discussing large arms supply contracts, in particular, the sale of Ukrainian interceptor drones to Saudi Arabia.
On March 7, during a conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Zelenskyy emphasized that security in Europe and the Middle East requires joint efforts and coordination, and the protection of life must be the main priority for both states.
