Report: Hariri to Travel to Saudi Arabia
Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri is expected to travel to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after the trip was “postponed for a few days for unknown reasons,” the daily al-Akhbar reported.
The daily said “Speaker Nabih Berri had advised President Michel Aoun to bring closer the date of binding consultations that named Hariri as PM-designate so that during his visit to Riyadh, Hariri will assume the broad parliamentary designation.”
Saudi Minister Plenipotentiary Charge d'Affaires Walid al-Bukhari has also traveled to Riyadh on Monday, it added.
Hariri was designated Thursday for a third term as Lebanon's prime minister.
