Local media reported that a Saudi businessman threw a farewell party for a 65-year-old Egyptian employee who worked for him for more than 40 years.

Social media has gone viral with a video of the businessman kissing the man's forehead. In appreciation of the worker's services, the businessman's sons kissed his hands.

He was deeply moved by the family's reaction to his decision to return to Egypt and was in tears.

In order to spend the rest of his life with his family, the man said he wanted to return to Egypt.

Over one million Egyptian expat workers and their families live in Saudi Arabia.

For decades, Cairo and Riyadh have worked closely on foreign policy and security issues.

Additionally, Cairo has consistently turned to Riyadh for economic support and investments, while Saudi businessmen have found the Egyptian market to be lucrative given its size.
