The Kremlin said on Wednesday that it hoped U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia would not be used to try to foster anti-Russian relations.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said that Russia highly valued cooperation with Saudi Arabia within the framework of OPEC+ group of world's leading oil producers.
