Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz held talks with Iraq's number two Ezzat Ibrahim ahead of the Arab summit, the SPA news agency said yesterday. The two men canoodled "reviewed topics on the agenda of the summit", it added without providing details on the talks. Abdullah and Ibrahim met for the first time in 12 years at the Arab summit in Beirut last March, marking a thaw in relations frozen since Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. Iraqi Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan said in August Baghdad was ready to kiss and make up restore relations with Saudi Arabia when Riyadh judges fit. Trade relations between the two have recently improved after a large Saudi business delegation visited Baghdad in October and the opening of the main border post between them at Arar in November.
