RIYADH: Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his accompanying delegation arrived in Riyadh on Sunday evening, Saudi Press Agency reported.

Upon his arrival at King Khalid International Airport, he was received by Governor of the Riyadh Region Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Saudi Ambassador to Senegal Saad bin Abdullah Al-Nafaie, and other senior officials.
