The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, discussed ways of further consolidating the robust brotherly relations between the two countries along with an array of regional and international issues of common concern.
This came as the Saudi King welcomed Sheikh Mohamed and his accompanying delegation today at Al-Auja Palace, Riyadh.

King Salman commended the progressively solid relations between the two sisterly nations and its people.
Sheikh Mohamed conveyed to King Salman the greetings of The President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his wishes for further and continued prosperity and progress to the Kingdom.
King Salman reciprocated the greetings to Sheikh Khalifa, wishing him good health and continued progress to the UAE.
The two leaders addressed ways of widening collaboration and coordination across all fields to the higher good of both nations in particular and to the best interest of the entire region in general.
The latest developments in the region, including the ongoing challenges and crises, were reviewed as well by the two leaders.
Sheikh Mohamed reaffirmed the solid basis that the bilateral relations are based on and the balanced approach they adopt towards various regional and international issues.
"The UAE-Saudi ties are a model to be copied for how relations between world countries should be and they reflect the two nations' profound awareness of the regional developments," said Sheikh Mohamed.
Highlighting Saudi Arabia's pivotal role in countering risks besetting the Arab World, Sheikh Mohamed expressed his confidence that Saudi Arabia - thanks to its wise leadership and strong people - would continue to play that role for protecting the Arab interests and providing all drivers of progress and development for the Arabs.
"The UAE will remain steadfast in one trench with its Saudi brothers out of its unequivocal belief in our common goal and destiny," he affirmed.
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi added that the prudence of King Salman and his far-sighted vision and brave stances constitute the safety and stability valve in both the Kingdom and the region at large.
He expressed his appreciation for the leading role assumed by King Salman in reinforcing security and stability in the region and protecting the interests of Arab countries and peoples amid the ongoing challenges and threats.
Sheikh Mohamed arrived in Riyadh earlier on November 10, on a brotherly visit to Saudi Arabia and was welcomed upon arrival at King Khalid International Airport by Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdul Aziz, Governor of Riyadh.
