Saudi Arabia: Travel Warning to Our Citizens was Related to Events at the Time, Today it No Longer Stands
Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awadh Asiri stated on Friday that the Kingdom’s travel warning for its citizens against heading to Lebanon was related to events at the time, but now that matters have calmed down, it is no longer necessary.
The ambassador made his statements after holding talks with Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati.
Asiri said in a statement that Saudi Arabia is keen on Lebanon’s security, stability, and sovereignty.
On Wednesday, the Saudi Arabian foreign ministry had advised its citizens against traveling to Lebanon “until calm and stability is restored” in light of violent protests that broke out on Tuesday against the appointment of Miqati as prime minister.
