Prime Minister Najib Miqati traveled to Mecca on Tuesday for Omra but he is scheduled to return the same day to attend the new cabinet’s photo taking session that will take place at Baabda palace on Wednesday.
Media reports said Miqati’s visit to Saudi Arabia is not an official trip and is only aimed at performing the Omra.
On Wednesday, Miqati will head the first cabinet session at Baabda and will later stand along with the members of his new government at the doorstep of the presidential palace for the official photo.
As Safir newspaper said that Miqati is expected to make an official tour to Arab and other countries once his cabinet receives the vote of confidence of parliament.
He will kick off his tour from Damascus, As Safir said.
Miqati told al-Jadeed television on Monday that his first visit as Lebanon’s new premier will be to “the beloved South,” where he will inspect the Lebanese army units and UNIFIL peacekeepers deployed there.
