DUBAI, Jan 16 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia’s 90-year-old King Salman left hospital in Riyadh on Friday after undergoing medical tests, the state news agency said, adding that the results of the tests had been reassuring.
Salman, whose country is the world’s largest oil exporter and a major U.S. ally in the Middle East, received medical care for lung inflammation in 2024.
He last chaired a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, according to state news agency SPA.
