DUBAI (Reuters) -- Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman set off on a tour of fellow Persian Gulf Arab states on Monday ahead of a Persian Gulf summit this month.
Prince Muhammad will visit Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait, Saudi state news agency SPA reported. Oman will be the first leg of the tour. It will be the crown prince’s first trip to Qatar since Riyadh and its Arab allies imposed an embargo on Doha in mid-2017 in a row that was only resolved last January.
