Saudi Arabia's King Salman has sent his congratulations to US president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris on their election win.
King Salman "expressed his sincere congratulations and best wishes for success ... and to the friendly people of the United States of America further progress and prosperity," the Saudi Press Agency reported.
"On this occasion, he praised the distinction of the close historical relations that exist between the two friendly countries and peoples, which everyone seeks to strengthen and develop in all fields."
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman also offered his congratulations to Mr Biden and Ms Harris.
The messages from King Salman and Prince Mohammed on Sunday come as other regional leaders sent their congratulations after the election win was declared on Saturday.

Other must-tries
Tomato and walnut salad
A lesson in simple, seasonal eating. Wedges of tomato, chunks of cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, coriander or parsley leaves, and perhaps some fresh dill are drizzled with a crushed walnut and garlic dressing. Do consider yourself warned: if you eat this salad in Georgia during the summer months, the tomatoes will be so ripe and flavourful that every tomato you eat from that day forth will taste lacklustre in comparison.
Badrijani nigvzit
A delicious vegetarian snack or starter. It consists of thinly sliced, fried then cooled aubergine smothered with a thick and creamy walnut sauce and folded or rolled. Take note, even though it seems like you should be able to pick these morsels up with your hands, they’re not as durable as they look. A knife and fork is the way to go.
Pkhali
This healthy little dish (a nice antidote to the khachapuri) is usually made with steamed then chopped cabbage, spinach, beetroot or green beans, combined with walnuts, garlic and herbs to make a vegetable pâté or paste. The mix is then often formed into rounds, chilled in the fridge and topped with pomegranate seeds before being served.
