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.

Saudi Arabia condemned on Wednesday Israel’s publication of maps that show its occupation of parts of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, claiming these territories as its own.

In a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry slammed such extremist acts that reflect Israel’s “intentions to consolidate its occupation and continue its flagrant violation of the sovereignty of those nations.”

Saudi Arabia called on the international community to assume is responsibility in stopping these violations, “stressing the need to respect the sovereignty and borders of these countries to ease tensions and put a stop to attempts to undermine peace efforts.”
