Saudi King visits Poland

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah arrived in Warsaw on Monday for two days of talks with Poland's leaders on bolstering economic ties and fighting organized crime.

The king is to take part in the signing of bilateral agreements to fight organized crime linked to the smuggling of humans, drugs and weapons and to forging documents and money.

The two countries established ties in 1995, six years after the fall of communism in Poland.

Abdullah gained widespread popularity in Poland after he funded an operation in 2005 to separate Polish conjoined twins Daria and Olga Kolacz, which was performed by a team of 50 Saudi surgeons and nurses in Riyadh. He was awaded the "Order of the Smile" an honor voted upon by children of Poland.
