Saudi Envoy Says 'Lebanon Safe' for Tourism
Saudi charge d'affaires in Lebanon Walid al-Bukhari has reassured that “Lebanon is safe” for tourism.
“Saudi Arabia has a constantly renewing diplomatic thought and every ambassador who took part in today's event is sending a message that Lebanon is safe and has achieved security standards under which tourism in this country should be reconsidered” by any boycotting country, Bukhari said during a motorcycle tour sponsored by the Saudi embassy.
Lebanese lawmakers also participated in the tour, titled 'Sport for a Better Tomorrow', which aims to promote awareness against drugs.
The tour had started from Beirut's King Salman Avenue before reaching Mukhtara in Mount Lebanon's Chouf region.
