Saudi Arabia: King Abdullah returns

MEETING IN CAIRO: King Abdullah Bin Abdelaziz ended his holiday in Morocco on 20 June, and made a stop-off in Egypt for a brief official visit to the new president, Saudi-backed Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. It was his first official meeting overseas for some time, though the statement issued by state news agency SPA about his time in Cairo suggests he did not even get off the plane, instead welcoming Sisi and various ministers and officials on board before flying on to Jeddah.
