Egytian-Saudi Crisis Will end Soon: Miniter

Cairo (ANTARA/Xinhua-0ANA) - Egypt's Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Fayza Abul Naga said Sunday that the crisis between Egypt and Saudi Arabia will end soon because of the solid bilateral ties, official news agency MENA reported. Abul Naga said during a press conference that such crisis will not affect the economic support from Saudi Arabia to Egypt, adding that the Saudi side has officially negated the possibility of withdrawing any Saudi investments from Egypt. The Gulf nation decided Saturday to withdraw its ambassador in Cairo over protests organized outside the Saudi embassy in Cairo, after the Saudi authorities detained an Egyptian lawyer in Jeddah over allegations of possessing drugs.(*)
