Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari said Thursday his country would lift the travel warning to its citizens about visiting Lebanon once the new Lebanese government is formed.

“We are working on institutionalizing the Lebanese-Saudi relations in different fields,” Bukhari said at the Saudi mission in Beirut.

Speaking to a delegation from the Lebanese Labor and Investment Council in Saudi Arabia in the presence of Lebanon’s Ambassador to Riyadh Fawzi Kabbara, the Saudi diplomat said: “The kingdom’s foreign policy toward Lebanon since its formation has been based on Lebanon’s sovereignty, safety and stability.”

The delegation’s visit came on the occasion of Bukhari officially becoming the Saudi ambassador to Lebanon earlier this month.

The meeting also touched on Lebanon’s relations with Riyadh in various fields including economic, trade and social matters.

Saudi Arabia’s top envoy to Lebanon and the delegation also discussed preparations for the 2019 Arab Economic and Social Development Summit that will be held in Beirut next month.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) distributed shopping vouchers on Thursday, enabling beneficiaries to purchase winter clothing of their choice from authorized stores in the Amman and Madaba governorates in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
A total of 1,055 individuals, representing 191 Palestinian refugee families, benefited from this distribution as part of the third phase of the Winter Clothing Distribution Project (Kanaf) for the year 2025, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday.
In Lebanon, KSrelief has continued the fourth phase of the Al-Amal Charity Bakery project in Akkar Governorate and Miniyeh District.
Last week, the initiative distributed 175,000 bags of bread to Syrian, Palestinian, and host community families across northern Lebanon, benefiting 12,500 households, which represent 62,500 individuals.
These efforts are part of the Kingdom’s ongoing relief and humanitarian initiatives, delivered through its humanitarian arm, KSrelief, to assist those in need and affected populations, especially during the harsh winter cold wave.
