CAIRO (Reuters) - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman offered reassurances about the health of King Salman during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, state media reported.
The royal court said on Sunday the 88-year-old monarch would undergo medical tests for a lung inflammation.
"The crown prince reassures everyone of the health of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques (the king)...praying to God Almighty to bless him with a speedy recovery and to grant him good and sound health," the state news agency (SPA) said on X.
King Salman also received medical care for lung inflammation in May. He chaired a cabinet meeting a week later, with state TV broadcasting footage of him leading the meeting via video conference.
He last chaired a cabinet meeting on Sept. 24, SPA reported, after issuing a royal decree in August that allows the cabinet to convene in the absence of both himself and the prime minister, the crown prince.
