Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah is set to kick off an official visit to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait enjoy close ties between their people and leaderships, which have always sought to deepen these relations. The neighbors also share common views over several issues, including Gulf affairs.

The establishment of the Saudi-Kuwaiti coordination council is a reflection of these close ties. Formed in 2018, the council has adopted a moderate political approach and seeks to achieve security and stability for the Saudi and Kuwaiti people.

The council aims to set a common vision that would work on deepening relations between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait that would align with the goals of the Gulf Cooperation Council and bolster economic integration. It would seek innovative solutions for the optimal use of resources and cooperation and integration in political, security and military affairs.

The neighbors are aiming to increase the trade exchange between them, which in 2021 stood at 6.993 billion riyals.

A new Saudi aid convoy carrying essential food supplies, provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), has arrived in the central Gaza Strip as part of the campaign to support the Palestinian people.

The aid was received on Thursday by the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s implementing partner in the Gaza Strip, in preparation for distribution to the most vulnerable families.

This comes amid severe weather conditions that have caused flooding in the tents of displaced persons. In response, the center has set up several camps to shelter affected families and provide for their basic daily needs, aiming to alleviate the impact of the worsening humanitarian situation.

The initiative underscores the Kingdom’s steadfast commitment, through its humanitarian arm KSrelief, to supporting the Palestinian people in times of crisis and hardship.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud sent on Friday a cable of condolences to President of Libya's Presidential Council Dr. Mohamed Al-Menfi on the death of the Chief of the General Staff of the Libyan Army and his companions following a plane crash in Türkiye earlier this week.

King Salman extended his sincere condolences and sympathy to the president and the families of the deceased.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, sent A-Menfi a similar cable.

Experts have started analyzing the black boxes recovered from the jet crash in Türkiye that killed eight people, including western Libya’s military chief, the Turkish defense ministry said Thursday. The probe was being done in coordination with Libyan officials.

The private jet with Gen. Mohammed Ali Ahmed Al-Haddad, four other military officers and three crew members crashed on Tuesday after taking off from Ankara, killing everyone on board.

Libyan officials said the cause of the crash was a technical malfunction on the plane.
