Prince Naif Bin Abdulaziz, the Interior Minister has reaffirmed the brotherly relations linking Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In a press statement following a banquet hosted in honor of the Interior Minister by Saudi Ambassador to the UAE Abdullah Bin Moa'mar, Prince Naif said that his meeting with Sheikh Khalifah Bin Zayed Al-Nahayan, the President of the UAE, is not something new. "I am happy for Sheikh Khalifah's keenness on strengthening Saudi-UAE relations," the Interior Minister said. "Sheikh Khalifah was keen to ask about the health of King Fahd and also inquired about Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Sultan," Prince Naif added. With regard to any dispute between the Kingdom and the UAE, Prince Naif said "this is absolutely a false claim, there is no dispute and there will be none." In response to a question if citizens of the two countries will be allowed to travel with I.D card instead of passport, he replied that " we are ready (for this)."
