Geagea in UAE for Talks with Emirati Officials, LF Cadres
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea arrived Friday in the United Arab Emirates for talks with “Emirati officials and LF cadres,” a media report said.
The regional developments and the outcome of Saudi King Salman's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin will be the focus of Geagea's talks with the UAE officials, al-Markazia news agency reported.
A terse statement issued by the LF's media department in the morning had only said that Geagea had left for the UAE along with his wife, MP Sethrida Geagea.
The visit comes eight days after Geagea held talks in Saudi Arabia with the kingdom's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“The visit to the UAE is not separate from the course of the meetings that Geagea held in Saudi Arabia in terms of looking into the developments in the region, which is at the brink of major changes,” LF sources told al-Markazia.
Geagea will discuss “the military developments in Syria, which are going in parallel with diplomatic action moving from one influential capital to another with the aim of finding a solution to the crisis,” the sources added.
“Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the spearhead of the Arab and Gulf confrontation against Iran and its expansionist schemes in the region, which means that the coming developments and changes in the region will definitely go through them, that's why Geagea's visit to the UAE today is a completion of his visit to the kingdom a week ago,” the LF sources explained.
The sources also revealed that Geagea will stay in the UAE for several days during which he will meet with top Emirati officials and LF cadres based in the UAE and other Gulf countries.
