The head of the private office for the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has put an end to speculations around Mohammad bin Salman's absence by posting a photo of the royal with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Friday.
"A friendly meeting continues among brothers," Bader Al-Asaker wrote in a tweet accompanying the photo.
لقاءٌ وديٌّ يستمر بين الأشقاء..
