Saudi crown prince in Paris for arms, other deals

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Mohammed bin Salman, who also heads the Saudi armed forces, dined with President Emmanuel Macron at Louvre museum on Monday, and was scheduled to meet with French Defense Minister Florence Parly.

Activists planned to hold protests during the visit overshadowed by lavish weapons sales by the world's third biggest arms exporter to the kingdom, which has been attacking Yemen for more than three years now.

The Saudi invasion, which seeks to restore Yemen's former government of Abd Rabbuh Hadi, has cost thousands of lives, turning Yemen into the scene of the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
