LONDON: Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the UK Prince Khalid bin Bandar met with the British Minister of State for International Trade, Nigel Huddleston, for talks on trade and economic ties between the two countries, the Saudi Embassy reported on Friday.
During the meeting at the headquarters of the British Department for Business and Trade, the two sides reviewed the fourth round of free trade negotiations between Gulf Cooperation Council states and the UK held in late July.
RIYADH: Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, supervisor-general of the Saudi aid agency KSrelief, recently met in Riyadh with Polish former conjoined twins Olga and Daria, who underwent a separation surgery 21 years ago at King Abdulaziz Medical City of the National Guard under the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program.
During the meeting, Al-Rabeeah said the program’s high international standing would not have been possible without the unwavering support of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
He noted that over 35 years, the program has performed 67 separation surgeries and provided care for 155 conjoined twins from 28 countries, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Al-Rabeeah added that the program has become a destination for patients from within the Kingdom and abroad, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian values that transcend continents, borders, and races.
He emphasized that the Kingdom has become a global benchmark in humanitarian work, consistently ranking highly in international humanitarian indices.
The Polish twins expressed their profound gratitude to Saudi Arabia and the medical team led by Al-Rabeeah, affirming that the surgery was a turning point in their lives, enabling them to live independently and lead normal lives.
