ANKARA - Saudi Arabian officials invited Turkish experts and related officials to visit its consulate in Istanbul, the Turkish state-owned Anadolu news agency reported on Tuesday, following the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi a week ago.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday asked Riyadh to prove its claim that Khashoggi had left the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, while Washington urged Saudi Arabia to support an investigation into his disappearance.
