Jordanian King Abdullah II on Friday sent a condolences cable to Saudi monarch King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud over the death of former foreign minister Prince Saud Al Faisal.

King Abdullah II paid tribute to Prince Saud who spent four decades serving his country and the Arab and Muslim nation.

Faisal - who was the world's longest-serving foreign minister - died at the age of 75.

He was appointed as foreign minister in 1975. He was retired in April and replaced by Adel al Jubeir.
