Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Muhammad Bin Salman in his capacity as deputy king, issued three royal orders including the appointment of Princess Reema Bint Bandar Bin Sultan as Ambassador to the United States and Prince Khalid Bin Salman as Deputy Defense Minister.

In addition, a third order issued on Saturday also ordered the payment of a month’s salary in reward to the participants in the front lines of military actions in the “southern region of the Kingdom.”

Earlier in the day, Saudi King Salman issued a royal order deputizing Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman “to steer the state’s affairs” throughout the period of the King’s absence during his visit to Egypt to take part in the first joint Arab League-European Union summit. — Al Arabiya English
