The Minister of Transport Dr. Jubarah bin Eid Al-Suraysiri dismissed reports echoed in some news media, alleging that he has toured the so-called Saudi-Egyptian land bridge project to link the two countries. In a press statement to the Saudi Press Agency, the minister dismissed the reports as completely and outright false, adding that he has neither toured the so-called site or made any statement or hints tied to this issue and that the Ministry of Transport, for its part, has never taken any step whatsoever related to this issue.
