Geagea Meets Hariri in Jeddah
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea continued on Monday his visit to Saudi Arabia by holding talks with head of the Mustaqbal Movement MP Saad Hariri.
The two officials met in the city of Jeddah, said LBCI television.
The two officials stressed that priority in Lebanon lies in the election of a president, warning that the persistence of the vacuum will “keep the country paralyzed,” reported MTV later on Monday.
They also said that any legislation should focus on the adoption of a new parliamentary electoral law, it said.
On Sunday, Geagea had held talks with King Salman bin Abdul Aziz.
The meeting tackled “the latest developments in the Lebanese arena,” the kingdom's news agency SPA reported.
Geagea “expressed his gratitude and appreciation of the kingdom” over “its support for Lebanon and its people and its keenness on the country's security and stability during all circumstances,” the agency said.
Geagea had traveled Saturday to the kingdom for talks with “top officials,” according to his press office.
