Former Saudi foreign minister prince Saud al-Faisal dies | World news | The Guardian:
"Saudi Arabia’s prince Saud al-Faisal, who was the world’s longest-serving foreign minister, has died, according to family members and a foreign ministry spokesman.
Prince Saud, who was born in 1940, was one of the highest profile members of Saudi’s ruling elite and steered the diplomacy of the world’s leading oil exporter for four decades before stepping down in April for health reasons.
The prince oversaw Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a major diplomatic player, facing successive regional crises and maintaining a focus on relations with the west."
