Mobily cannot prove claims, Zain Saudi has strong position in dispute: Chairman

Mobile Telecommunications Company Saudi Arabia (Zain KSA) has not yet received documentation from Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) to substantiate its claim that it is owed SAR 2.2 billion​ by the company​, said Hassan Kabbani, Zain Saudi Arabia's chief executive.

"We gave our consent for arbitration upon Mobily's request​;​​ h​owever, our position is very strong in this dispute," Kabbani told Al Arabiya news channel in a phone call. "We'll always act in the best interest ​of our shareholders.”According to data available on Argaam, Mobily, Saudi Arabia’s second-biggest telecom operator, sought arbitration in late 2014 to obtain SAR 2.2 billion it claimed that it was owed by Zain on providing it with roaming and data-sharing services on a deal signed by both companies in 2008.
