The President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, presented with His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during a phone call this afternoon, the general situation in Lebanon and the region in light of current developments. President Aoun thanked His Highness the Crown Prince for the Kingdom’s standing by Lebanon in all fields, especially in helping to calm the situation and put an end to the escalation that Lebanon is witnessing. During the call, President Aoun wished the Saudi Crown Prince to reopen the Kingdom’s markets to Lebanese agricultural and industrial products, given the importance of these markets in strengthening the Lebanese economy, especially since Lebanon had taken strict measures to protect the export movement from its lands, so His Highness promised to give his directives in this regard. His Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman reiterated the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s support for Lebanon, its keenness on its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and its continued work to alleviate the suffering of the Lebanese.
