The crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, will visit Turkey for the first time since the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 at its consulate in Istanbul, the BBC writes.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will hold face-to-face talks with Mohammed bin Salman in order to mend a deep rift between the two countries.
Erdogan once indirectly accused the prince of ordering Saudi agents to kill Khashoggi. He denied any involvement.
The visit comes as Turkey seeks trade, investment and aid to help it deal with a worsening economic crisis.
It has also worked to improve relations with the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Israel after years of tensions.
