The two sides focused on relations between the countries during the meeting at Al-Salam Palace, along with speaking of opportunities for growth and development in various fields.
They also exchanged views on several regional and international issues. Saudi’s crown prince held a lunch banquet in honor of his guest and his accompanying delegation on the occasion of their official visit.
Sheikh Sabah Khaled was appointed crown prince on June 1 after Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah issued a decree nominating the former prime minister.
Sheikh Sabah Khaled left Jeddah later on Tuesday, where he was seen off at King Abdulaziz International Airport by the Deputy Governor of Makkah Region Prince Saud bin Mishaal; Saudi Ambassador to Kuwait Prince Sultan bin Saad bin Khalid; Kuwaiti Ambassador to the Kingdom Sheikh Sabah Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah; and other senior officials.
The Kuwaiti crown prince sent cables to King Salman and the Saudi crown prince following his visit, thanking them for their generous hospitality which reflected the deep ties between the two countries, the Kuwait News Agency reported.
He expressed “his pride in the exceptional relations between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, affirming intent on boosting cooperation across various fields to achieve further prosperity.”
KUNA added that he also praised “the successful talks that took place,” wishing the Saudi leaders good health and the Kingdom and its people further progress.
