SANA'A- The Yemeni-Saudi border committee is preparing to hold a meeting in the final week of July.

The committee is expected to discuss cooperation-related matters as well as the joint efforts for organizing the land border authorities and the border patrols of the two bordering countries, particularly after the increase of weapon trafficking through borders.

The Yemeni authorities handed Saudi Arabia 12 wanted suspects within the framework of the joint security cooperation.

Press sources mentioned there has been a dispute and a deterioration of relations between both countries, leading Saudi Foreign Minister Saoud al-Faisal to absent himself from attending the conference of Islamic Foreign Ministers.

For his part, Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi denied any dispute or relation crisis between the two Arab countries.
