Berri thanks KSA for efforts to help Lebanon, end war
Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan held talks on Thursday, discussing the latest developments in Lebanon and the region, "particularly Israel's continued aggression against Lebanon, including its ongoing systematic destruction of border villages," Berri's office said.
Berri thanked Saudi Arabia for "its efforts to assist Lebanon on various levels, especially those related to halting the Israeli aggression targeting Lebanon's security, sovereignty and stability."
Berri had earlier in the day met with Saudi envoy for Lebanon Prince Yazid bin Farhan, who also met with President Joseph Aoun.
Al-Jadeed TV said Berri's meeting with the Saudi envoy was "lengthy and fruitful," adding that the relation between Aoun, Berri and PM Nawaf Salam is expected to witness improved coordination after lukewarm ties over the past period.
"The Saudi activity in Lebanon followed President Aoun's phone talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman," al-Jadeed said, adding that "the Saudi effort is focused on the stability of the domestic situation and supporting the ceasefire in Lebanon."
