Senegalese President Macky Sall met Wednesday in Riyadh with Saudi Defense Minister Mohamed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.
The meeting dwelt on Senegal's participation in a Saudi-led military campaign against the Shiite Houthi militant group in Yemen, according to the official Saudi news agency.
For the past week, Saudi Arabia and several Arab allies have been pounding Houthi positions across Yemen.
Riyadh says the strikes are in response to appeals by Yemeni President ABD Rabbuh Mansour Hadi to "save the [Yemeni] people from the Houthi militias."
Fractious Yemen has remained in turmoil since last September, when the Houthis overran capital Sanaa, from which they have sought to extend their influence to other parts of the country.
Some Gulf countries accuse Shiite Iran of supporting Yemen's Houthi insurgency.
