The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, held on Wednesday official talks with Singapore's visiting President Halimah Yacob.

Prior to the talks, King Salman honored the President with the King Abdulaziz medal.

Then, they discussed relations between the Kingdom and Singapore, opportunities for enhancing cooperation between the two countries, and a number of issues of mutual concern.

The talks were attended by senior Saudi and Singaporean officials.
