وتناولت المحادثات العلاقات الثنائية بين البلدين والأوضاع في منطقة الشرق الأوسط، وأوضاع اللبنانيين في البحرين وضرورة تفعيل عمل البعثتين الديبلوماسيتين في كلا البلدين.
وأقام ملك البحرين غداء تكريميا لسليمان الذي عاد الى بيروت فور انتهاء المأدبة.
ويسعى سليمان في جولته لحث الدول الخليجية على العودة عن قرارات منع السفر الى لبنان.
وكان قد بدأ سليمان جولته الخليجية منذ أسابيع حيث زار كل من الكويت وقطر والإمارات بهدف تشجيع السياحة في لبنان ودعوة هذه الدول الى العدول عن قرارها بمنع رعاياها من السفر الى لبنان.
وكانت قد دعت كل من دول الامارات والبحرين وقطر والكويت رعاياها عدم التوجه الى لبنان والموجودين فيه الى مغادرته، بسبب توتر الاوضاع الامنية فيه.
What a shame, a Head of State going to beg others to come this summer. Everything is fine here mafi chi e3nna. Travel agents in most Gulf countries have reported very high numbers of cancellations to Lebanon.
Too late Mr. President, the damage is already done and Ramadan starts in less than one month...
I agree with the Gulf states, Lebanon has become a rogue state and needs to understand that its decisions have consequences on the world stage. Gulf Arabs don't want to see guns when they visit. If Suleiman wants tourists, all he's gotta do is DISARM HIZBIRAN and get rid of ALL OTHER ILLEGITIMATE ARMS
thanks to hizballah and aoun for keeping our country on the edge - one with their weapons and the other with his constant threats. nothing good has come out of this one sided government. No power , no tourists , economy in deep trouble for a long time and el habal 3al jarar.
oh i meant to say that he is not going there on vacation. i know he is going there to try to help the tourism industry.
I feel sorry for Sulieman...I respect that he is trying to help the Tourism industry which is a big income source for Lebanon but he doesn't have a case. Kidnapping, bank robberies, militia clashes, border incursions...Lebanon is not ideal for tourist! We Lebanese deserve what's happening to us. We are so ready to fight and blame each other for the benefit of others. The only way to move forward with this country is when we understand that respecting and protecting the fellow Lebanese, no matter how different in politics sect or religion they are, is the number one priority of any true Lebanese.
he should point out to the Bahraini regime that Bahrainis are actually safer in lebnon than they are in their own country..How many Bahrainis got killed in lebanon 2011? How many were killed in Bahrain?
the gulf countries know very well whom they are sending to lebanon
if they do not send their tourists we should send back their fanatics
arab tourists are coming to Dubai, temperature is 45 degrees and the city is full, what a shame a country like Lebanon is out of business , i know some brain washed people will say it's a conspiracy
Are they holding hands? Seriously!!! May be he's going there for none of the reasons stated above...
On a more serious note, if the role of the president has become to promote tourism while the country is going through all sorts of trouble... There's something really wrong in this country. We'll ther has always been but it's really getting worse by the minute... And our people are busy smoking argile and hopping from one club to the other. Really embarrassing!!!
That's like begging your friends to visit your house in spite of constant arguing and fighting in your home. Yes - a very pleasant house to visit. I'm sure Greece would be more than happy to accomodate them and their yachts. Lebanon has shown they are a small country not just in size but in mentality and politics. You have to change yourselves before you can change your country. Stop the Hizb mentality and join the rest of the modern world. Time for new religions that don't believe in violence or distancing themselves from other people. The world has already given up on you Lebanon in case you haven't noticed, so keep fighting amongst yourselves, stay distracted while other societies flourish.
yes come to lebnenwe have it everything you want. we have a party that can start a war with at any time the iranian tell them to go for it, we have aoun the crazy ex general and we have the sun , the sea and the bikini girls roaming our sewage infected beaches but sorry we got no electricity because baby bassil is working a deal out and that might take few hundred years ..just come and spend your money -- we are the paris of the east ..
