Miqati Stresses Need to Halt All Lebanon-Based Anti-KSA Activities

Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Monday called for putting an end to “all the Lebanon-based political, military, security and media activities that harm the sovereignty, security and stability of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.”

Noting in a statement that “the government is committed to restoring the normalcy of ties between Lebanon and the GCC nations,” Miqati pointed out that his recent phone call with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Ahmed al-Nasser was part of his efforts in this regard.

Stressing that Lebanese authorities will seek to prevent the smuggling of narcotics to KSA and the Gulf, the premier added that the government will work on “barring the use of Lebanese financial and banking channels to conduct any financial transactions that might harm the security of Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries.”

Miqati also underlined “commitment to the articles of the Kuwaiti initiative.”
