Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will not attend the Arab League Summit in Algeria this November 1st.
In an announcement made on Saturday, the Presidency of the Republic of Algeria said that President Abdelmadjid Tebboune received a phone call from the Saudi Crown regretting not being able to attend the summit.
The Algerian presidency said that MBS’ health was the reason behind this decision, saying the Crown Prince is “following the recommendations of his doctors to avoid all travel.”
Tebboune expressed his understanding and regret at the absence of MBS, wishing him a good recovery in a statement.
A statement run on the state-run Saudi Press Agency announced the call between Tebboune and the prince, but offered no word on the doctors’ advice, nor MBS’ absence from the summit.
The statement said the call focused on “the aspects of bilateral relations between the two fraternal countries.”
Personal invitations had been sent to various heads of state of the Arab League, including King Mohammed VI.
Algerian Minister of Justice, Abderrachid Tebbi, landed in Rabat airport late September, carrying an official invitation to Moroccan authorities to attend the upcoming Arab League summit in Algeria.
The Kingdom’s representatives in the summit have yet to be announced.
