The Qatari foreign ministry strongly condemned on Saturday Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi’s offensive comments against Saudi Arabia.

In a statement, it described Kordahi’s remarks as “irresponsible towards his country and Arab causes alike.”

“He was better off not dragging fraternal Lebanon in foreign crises,” it added.

The foreign ministry called on the Lebanese government to “immediately take the necessary measures” to address the crisis, calm the situation and “mend the rift between brothers.”

Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz, Saudi Minister of Interior, held official talks with Kuwait’s First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad bin Yusuf Saud Al-Sabah in Riyadh on Sunday.
The talks focused on ways to promote security cooperation between the two countries, especially in combating drug trafficking, as well as discussing several other issues of mutual interest.

The Saudi Minister stressed that the meeting is in line with the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to enhance the two countries’ security cooperation.

The Kuwaiti official arrived earlier in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, where he was warmly welcomed by the Saudi Minister of Interior and several senior officials from both countries.
