Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi arrived in Riyadh on Saturday to congratulate the new Saudi Crown Prince and the Deputy Crown Prince on their recent appointments.
On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman appointed his nephew, Prince Mohammad bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, as crown prince, and his son, Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, as deputy crown prince.
In an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya News Channel in March, Sisi reiterated the strength of the relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
“The relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and Egypt and its brothers in the Gulf, has been strong and stable for years,” Sisi said, adding that the two countries need to coordinate considering the “difficult condition” the Arab region is in.
