UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has extended his condolences to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, on the passing of Prince Alwaleed bin Khalid bin Talal Al Saud.

Born in April 1990, he was the eldest son of Prince Khalid bin Talal Al Saud and the nephew of billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, also offered their condolences.
