Saudi inks Egypt oil deal, to spend $1.5b developing Sinai

Saudi Arabia is expected to sign a $20 billion five-year deal to supply oil to Egypt, Reuters reports.

Riyadh and Cairo also agreed to a $1.5 billion development project for the Sinai Peninsula, where Egypt’s army is fighting an insurgency affiliated with the Islamic State jihadist group.

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman is slated to visit Cairo in the coming days, where he will sign the agreements alongside Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
