Saudi ambassador meets Mufti Daryan at Dar al-Fatwa

Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid al-Boukhari visited Monday Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan at Dar al-Fatwa.

Daryan had announced the visit on Sunday, after having met with al-Boukhari at the Saudi Embassy in Baabda.

He said they will discuss the Saudi-Lebanese ties, stressing the good relations between the two countries.

Saudi Arabia had announced Thursday it was sending al-Boukhari to Lebanon for the first time since a row broke out five months ago over the Riyadh-led military intervention in Yemen.

Fellow oil-rich Gulf state Kuwait, which sided with Riyadh in the row, also announced that its ambassador would return "in response to appeals of moderate national forces" in Lebanon.

The two ambassadors returned Friday to Beirut.
