Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince paid his first visit to Turkey on Wednesday. The talks in Ankara between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan come one month before US President Joe Biden visits Riyadh for a regional summit. Those talks will focus on the energy crunch caused by Russia's attack on Ukraine. President Erdogan's decision to revive ties is driven in large part by economics and trade. The Turkish leader personally welcomed the crown prince at his presidential palace at a grand ceremony featuring parade horses and a military honour guard. They are scheduled to hold a private dinner but no joint press conference. - AFP
