2^min

Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdallah Bou Habib, Minister of Education Abbas al-Halabi, Minister of Interior Bassam Mawlawi, Minister of Economy Amin Salam, Minister of Finance Youssef Khalil, and Presidency Director General Antoine Choucair held on Saturday a crisis cell meeting over the diplomatic crisis with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries.

The meeting was held at the Foreign Ministry at Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s request.

Minister of Foreign Affairs had announced in a statement overnight that, at the request of the Prime Minister, who is currently on a working visit outside the country, and in view of the recent accelerating developments, he will take over from Beirut, in coordination and consultation with the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, the management of the cell whose “main mission is to mend the rift in order to overcome the regrettable dispute.”

“We believe that what is happening is a problem and not a crisis with the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries, and that it can be resolved and overcome through honest and brotherly dialogue for the sake of our friendly countries,” Bou Habib added.
