RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s chief of staff held discussions with his Bahraini counterpart on Sunday in Riyadh, and the two officials also visited the injured Bahraini soldiers receiving treatment in the capital.

During the meeting, Saudi Arabia’s Lt. Gen. Fayyad bin Hamid Al-Ruwaili and Bahrain’s Lt. Gen. Dhiyab bin Saqr Al-Nuaimi discussed ways to strengthen ties on the military front, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The generals later visited injured Bahraini soldiers receiving treatment at Prince Sultan Military Medical City. Some Bahraini soldiers were injured in the Houthi drone attack on their positions last week near the border with Yemen. 

Al-Nuaimi wished the soldiers a speedy recovery.
