The Crown Prince welcomed King Hamad at King Khalid International Airport, which had recently been targeted by Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia.

He also highlighted Saudi Arabia's \"pivotal role in consolidating the foundations of security, peace, and stability\" in the region.\n\nKing Mohammed expressed his wish to strengthen the \"close fraternal ties\" between the two countries.
