Riyadh: Crown Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia has left Switzerland after undergoing medical tests, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.

The crown prince, who is in his early 80s, left Geneva on Thursday after arriving on Sunday with a large retinue for "regular medical tests".

The SPA report gave no details on the state of his health.

Prince Sultan had an intestinal cyst removed in Saudi Arabia in 2005 and diplomats say he is in weaker health than King Abdullah.
