The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 19th Annual Japan International Manga Awards, where both sides discussed diplomatic relations and ways to strengthen collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Japan.
Speaking after the meeting, Ambassador Binzagr emphasized that the 70-year relationship between Saudi Arabia and Japan reflects strong trust and mutual respect between the two nations.
