China-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) conference will also be organized during Xi Jinping's two-day visit. Significantly, the government of Saudi Arabia and China have not yet confirmed Xi Jinping's visit to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government declined to respond to news channel CNN's request for information on Xi's visit and the planned summit.

A few days ago the US President visited Saudi Arabia

Explain that in July, US President Joe Biden visited Saudi Arabia, where he raised the issue of the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Biden said he believed the Saudi leader was responsible for Jamal Khashoggi's death.

US relations with China have been strained not only with Saudi Arabia. China and Saudi Arabia have also taken different positions in the West regarding the Ukraine war. Both have refrained from endorsing sanctions on Russia, and Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said Russia is a major energy-producing partner that should be consulted on OPEC+ decisions, reports CNN.

America had accused Saudi Arabia of supporting Russia

Following massive oil cuts last month, some US officials have accused Saudi Arabia of favoring Russia and aiding President Vladimir Putin in his war against Ukraine. Significantly, Saudi officials have denied either weaponizing oil or taking sides with Russia.
