RIYADH: De facto Saudi leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met UAE Vice President Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Riyadh on Tuesday (Sep 29), Saudi official media reported, months after the two countries fell out over Yemen.

The meeting comes as the kingdom reels from weeks of attacks by Yemen's Houthis on its tankers, oil facilities, airports and even its capital, after the group took control of the Red Sea coast from Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces.

Riyadh has for weeks been reaching out to international allies for help against the Houthis.

The crown prince and the vice president met to "review brotherly bilateral relations and regional developments", the Saudi Press Agency said, adding the sit-down was also attended by Saudi Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman.

Last December, Riyadh accused Abu Dhabi of threatening its national security by supporting southern Yemeni separatists who orchestrated a brief offensive in government-held areas.
