In terms of Russia, al-Jubeir said Saudi Arabia is willing to engage its fellow giant oil producer. Russia, under EU sanctions for annexing Crimea in 2014, could access the Gulf Cooperation Council market and a pool of investment that exceeds that of China, he said.

Assad’s days are numbered, he said, “So make a deal while you can.”
