Mikati: No Saudi, int'l aid for Lebanon before reforms
There will be no solution and no aid for Lebanon before reforms are carried out, Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said.
Mikati told Saudi al-Riyadh daily, in remarks published Thursday, that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has told him that Saudi Arabia will support Lebanon on the condition that it implement reforms, elect a new president, and take all measures to prevent any action that would harm the Saudis, like drug smuggling.
Mikati said he sensed from all his meetings abroad that there is almost complete unanimity that there will be no aid for Lebanon before reforms are implemented.
