OSAKA (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin told Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday he was happy to discuss cooperation between the two countries in the energy market.

Speaking days before a meeting of OPEC members and non-OPEC states in early July, Putin said he was grateful for an invitation from King Salman to visit Saudi Arabia in the autumn.

Putin also said Russia supported the presidency of Saudi Arabia of the G20 nations in 2020.
