Al-Mustaqbal Movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri returned to Beirut overnight from a several-week foreign trip during which he shuttled between Europe and Saudi Arabia.
Hariri had hailed the Lebanese-Saudi relations in an interview with the kingdom's official news agency that coincided with the Saudi National Day.
“The kingdom has always been keen on supporting and assisting the Lebanese, without exceptions, to enable Lebanon to overcome its internal crises and problems and to preserve its security and stability,” Hariri said.
He stressed that the ties between the two countries “will not be affected by the attempts of some parties to harm them through insulting the kingdom's role and distorting its reputation over well-known regional calculations.”
