Meeting of the Heirs: Kadyrov's Sons Meet with the Saudi Arabian Prince

The sons of the Chechen leader, Akhmat, Adam, and Ali Kadyrov, met with Prince Turki bin Mohammed Al Saud in Saudi Arabia. Ramzan Kadyrov announced this on his Telegram channel.

According to the head of the republic, his nephew, Khamzat Kadyrov, also participated in the meeting. Akhmat Kadyrov presented His Highness with a letter addressed to the Kingdom's Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The exact contents of the message were not specified.

In the publication, Ramzan Kadyrov called Saudi Arabia a country that occupies a "special place in the hearts of Muslims around the world" and thanked the kingdom's authorities for their treatment of pilgrims from Chechnya and Russia. He also expressed hope that such contacts would contribute to the development of cooperation.

No Chechen government leaders or other high-ranking officials attended the meeting; only the Chechen leader's immediate family members participated.

Saudi Arabia is among the Arab states with which Ramzan Kadyrov maintains particularly close ties. Previously, journalists from "Important Stories" reported that, amid rumors of health problems, the Chechen leader allegedly discussed possible security guarantees for his family and assets with representatives of several Persian Gulf countries. There is no official confirmation of this information.
