REPORT: President Aoun meets Saudi King in Riyadh
President Michel Aoun met on Tuesday with Saudi King Salman at the Diwan royal palace in Riyadh as part of his official two-day visit to Riyadh with an accompanying delegation.
 
Discussions between the two ​officials touched on the bilateral relations between the two countries, highlighting ways to ​enhance them at various levels.

Salman has emphasized Saudi nationals will resume their visits to Lebanon.

However, talks did not touch on the Saudi ​donation for the Lebanese army, but it could have been discussed between the two men during their closed talks.
 
This as Aoun also met with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir in the presence of Minister of Foreign Affairs Gebran Bassil.
 
Earlier, Aoun started his Tuesday's meetings with Saudi officials with Minister of Culture and Information Adel al-Touraifi at the president's residence in Saudi Arabia.
​
He then met with Minister of Commerce and Investment Majid bin Abdallah Al-Qasabi who stressed that the Saudi tourists might return to visit Lebanon.
​
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries have previously warned their citizens against traveling to Lebanon in what reportedly was a sort a punitive measure over the Lebanese government’s pro-Hezbollah policies.
​
On the sidelines of Aoun’s meetings, Lebanese Minister of ​Information Melhem Riachi met with his Saudi counterpart.
​
In turn, Minister of Economy Raed Khoury also met his Saudi counterpart where talks reportedly tackled bilateral economic issues.
 
This as a meeting was held between Minister of Foreign Affairs Gebran Bassil, Minister of Finance Ali Hassan Khalil and Minister of Interior Nouhad Machnouq to tackle the drafting of a new electoral law.
