The parties also reportedly discussed joint projects in the economy and energy in particular, opening ports, launching direct flights as well as stimulating Saudi trade and investments.

In 2016, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reached an agreement in Vienna to reduce daily oil production during the first half of 2017 in an effort to stabilize global oil prices.

The agreement was also supported by 11 non-OPEC states, which promised to jointly reduce oil output by 558,000 barrels per day. In May, the deal was extended by nine months.
