Egypt's FM gives King Salman letter from Sisi

As the 'Davos in the Desert' event started, Saudi King Salman received Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shokri at the royal court, according to the Saudi daily newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.

Shokri reportedly delivered a letter to the king from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, but the details of the letter were not revealed.

Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan also visited the king. Khan recently told MEE that he would attend the FII conference despite Khashoggi's killing because his country must continue to prioritise good relations with Saudi Arabia due to its dire economic crisis.

“We’re desperate at the moment,” Khan said.
