King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, will meet with Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh in Riyadh Tuesday to discuss a broad range of issues including border security and measures to prevent infiltrators from entering Saudi territory. Saleh is expected to brief King Abdullah on the latest developments in the ceasefire with the infiltrators. This includes an update on the handover of prisoners of war. The two leaders are also expected to discuss border security, including the deployment of the Yemeni army along the border to stop any further conflict with the infiltrators. The summit is being held before Riyadh's hosting of a donors' conference in late February, which would discuss support for Yemen and the extent to which donors at the recently held London Conference have fulfilled their promises. The Saudi-Yemeni Coordination Council meeting will be held in Riyadh on Feb. 27 under the co-chairmanship of Crown Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, Deputy Premier, Defense and Aviation Minister and Inspector General and Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Ali Mujawwar. The council is slated to approve grants and loans to support development in Yemen in the economic, education, health and cultural fields.
