He also called Iran “neighbors forever”. “We cannot get rid of them, and they can’t get rid of us, so it’s better for both of us to work it out and to look for ways in which we can coexist.”
Bin Salman also reaffirmed his commitment to the Opec+ agreement, after a phone call with President Putin Thursday, who warned his counterpart against politicizing energy.
