Saudi Arabia warned Thursday that any military cooperation between the United States and Russia in Syria must help advance a political transition to end the war without Bashar al-Assad in power.
Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told reporters he was ready to welcome US-Russian cooperation as US Secretary of State John Kerry headed to Moscow for talks on ending Syria's five-year war.
"With regards to the Russian-American cooperation in the fight against terrorism: this is something we had asked for," Jubeir told reporters
following meetings at the United Nations.
But he added: "The key is really to move the situation in Syria along a political process."
