Prince Mohammed bin Naif Saud, Saudi Arabia’s vice custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, chaired a cabinet session at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh to detail discussions held with
Somalia and Greece.
King Salman, the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, had met with President Mohammed
Abdullah Farmajo of Somalia and President Prokopios Pavlopoulos of Greece. Saud
briefed the cabinet on the outcome of those talks. He also spoke about the

ceasefire and a political solution.
The cabinet

exchange of news between the Saudi Press Agency and Indonesian and Malaysian
