Egypt-Saudi relations entered a new phase of rapprochement, following the announcement of oil exports resumption from Saudi Aramco to Cairo on Wednesday. Masry al-Youm learned that a senior Saudi official is currently visiting Cairo, to hold some important meetings with Egyptian officials. The sources did not rule out visits by some high-ranking Saudi officials to Cairo, during the next few days. Egypt had voted in favor of two different proposals on Syria at the UN Security Council in October, angering Saudi Arabia. Shortly after, Saudi Aramco halted fuel supplies to Egypt indefinitely, giving no reasons.
