Saudi Arabia's King Salman has invited Egyptian President Sisi to visit the Kingdom, a sign of good relations following months of tension. Sisi welcomed the invitation and, in turn, invited Salman back, the King’s office said in a statement on Wednesday. The two leaders met at an Arab summit in Jordan and discussed improving relations, according to the statement. "King Salman promised to visit Egypt in the very near future based on an invitation from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi." The two countries have disagreed over Syria and the transfer of two Red Sea islands from Egypt to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Foreign Minister, Adel al-Jubeir, said that the trip would take place in April.
