Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) will have an official visit to Turkey on June 22, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Friday

Erdoğan, speaking to reporters, said that the crown prince will be welcomed at the presidential complex in the capital Ankara. The two leaders will have talks as well as interdelegational meetings.

We will have the opportunity to discuss how to further bilateral ties to a higher level, the president said.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in April visited the kingdom in the first high-level visit in years, which followed intense efforts in recent months to repair some diplomatic damage after a decade of tension.

Erdoğan described the visit as "a manifestation of our common will to start a new era of cooperation as two brotherly countries."

The Turkish president and the prince "reviewed the Saudi-Turkish relations and ways to develop them in all fields", Saudi state news agency SPA said at the time.

Over the past year Ankara has embarked on a diplomatic push to reset relations with regional powers such as Israel, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia after years of antagonism. Erdoğan had reiterated that Turkey hopes to maximize its cooperation with Israel, Egypt and Gulf nations "on a win-win basis," at a time when Ankara intensified diplomacy to mend its fraught ties with these regional powers after years of tensions.
