(Reuters) - Britain's foreign minister Jeremy Hunt told his Turkish counterpart on Monday that the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi remains "deeply concerning" and a credible and thorough investigation was needed.

"We have been urging Saudi Arabia to cooperate fully with the investigation. There remain questions about the disappearance of Mr Khashoggi that only Saudi Arabia can answer," Hunt said after meeting Mevlut Cavusoglu in London.
