Gemayel in UAE for Talks with Top Officials
Kataeb Party chief MP Sami Gemayel arrived Monday in the UAE for talks with top Emirati officials, his office said.
Gemayel had received an official invitation to visit the Emirates, the office added.
The Kataeb leader had met last Monday in Amman with Jordanian King Abdullah II.
His talks with the monarch tackled the developments in the region and the king “put MP Gemayel in the picture of the critical developments that the region is going through, underscoring the depth of the historic and brotherly ties between the two countries,” according to Gemayel's office.
Lebanon has been gripped in a political crisis since Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced a surprise resignation earlier this month from Saudi Arabia, lambasting Iran and Hizbullah for their policies in Lebanon and the region.
Hariri put his resignation on hold last week after returning to Lebanon, where he announced that he would hold talks with the political parties on means to dissociate Lebanon from the regional crises.
