King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia is sick with a lung problem and is getting medical care. Because of this, the Crown Prince has put off his planned visit to Japan.
King Salman, who is 88 years old, has been diagnosed with an inflammation after having medical tests. He is getting treated with antibiotics in Jeddah, as reported by SPA on Sunday.
His son Mohammed bin Salman, who is the Crown Prince and the actual leader of Saudi Arabia, canceled his trip to Tokyo because of his father’s condition.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry said they will try to plan the trip for another time.
On Sunday, Prince bin Salman met with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan in the eastern city of Dhahran, as reported by SPA.
At the meeting, they talked about what’s happening in nearby areas, like the fighting in Gaza. They also talked about how to make peace and find a solution where there are two separate states.
In 2020, King Salman had an operation to take out his gallbladder. He became the King of Saudi Arabia after King Abdullah died in 2015.
In 2017, he took away Mohammed bin Nayef’s job as crown prince and put his son in his place.
