Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has invited Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to visit his country, a public show of good relations.
Sisi welcomed the invitation and in turn invited Salman back, his office said in a statement yesterday.
The two leaders met at an Arab summit in Jordan and discussed improving relations, the statement said.
“King Salman promised to visit Egypt in the very near future based on an invitation from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi,” the statement also said.
Officials from both sides have denied the existence of tensions or disagreements between the two countries.
Egypt voted in favour of a Russian-backed UN resolution on Syria in October, which excluded calls to stop bombing Aleppo.
In January an Egyptian court rejected a government plan to transfer two uninhabited Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia.The kingdom agreed in April last year to provide Egypt with 700,000 tonnes of refined oil products a month for five years, but the cargoes stopped arriving in early October. 
Shipments resumed this month, however, and Egypt’s Petroleum Ministry said they had only been stopped for commercial reasons.
