Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea kicked off on Monday a visit to Saudi Arabia by meeting with deputy Crown Prince Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz.
The two officials discussed in Riyadh the political developments in the region, including the need for the election of a new president in Lebanon.
The Saudi Prince stressed that the kingdom “always stand by Lebanon.”
“It will continue to back it in all steps that seek to bolster the stability, sovereignty, and security of its people,” said a statement issued by the LF.
For his part, Geagea thanked the deputy crown prince and Saudi Arabia for the grants to the Lebanese army, which will help enable it confront the threat of terrorism and all other dangers facing the country.
Geagea and Prince Muqrin also addressed regional developments in Iraq, Syria, and Palestine.
The LF chief traveled to Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
Geagea had made a similar visit to the Gulf kingdom on November 20. He met with al-Mustaqbal Movement leader MP Saad Hariri and Saudi officials during that trip.
