RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said on Wednesday that the kingdom is ready to cooperate with Russia in the military and nuclear power spheres.

The comment followed a two-day visit this week by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who became the first Russian head of state to visit the kingdom.

"There are no obstacles to cooperation between the two countries in all fields concerning the military and nuclear power," Saud told reporters.

During his visit, Putin was reported to have offered Russian expertise to the kingdom in the field of nuclear energy. snip

Saud said that Moscow and Riyadh are also engaged in talks about Russia helping with arms to the kingdom, based on Saudi Arabia's military needs and on the kind of weapons Russia can provide. He did not elaborate.
