Managing Politics in Saudi-Russian Ties
The history of relations between the Kingdom and Russia spans over a hundred years. Russia was the first country to recognize the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd in 1926, before relations paused in 1938 due to ideological and political differences between the two regimes. Diplomatic ties were restored in 1990 following changes in the Soviet system, and relations were further strengthened through increased cooperation in oil, energy, and economic sectors, especially after visits by Saudi leaders to Russia in 2017. Today, both parties are celebrating a hundred years of their relationship, with Russia affirming shared geopolitical and economic interests. Their relationship serves as a model of how Saudi Arabia manages its foreign relations with wisdom and balance, without harming its relations with other countries.
