Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Lebanon Walid al-Bukhari told LBCI that he visited Hotel Dieu Hospital to check on the health condition of former Maronite Patriarch Mar Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, describing him as an important person for the Arab, Muslim and Christian world “and it was him who called for maintaining the national unity in Lebanon.”
“Patriarch Sfeir is an important friend of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and played a major role in preserving Lebanon’s security, stability and prosperity,” he said, noting that the kingdom will remain loyal.
