Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressed his appreciation to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for hosting the second edition of the Green Middle East Initiative Summit, which took place in Sharm el-Sheikh.

“I would like to thank you for hosting the Middle East Green Initiative Summit in its second edition, which stems from your belief in the importance of its objectives that will be achieved through concerted efforts and active participation from countries in the region, and which will lead to further prosperity for our peoples,” the Saudi crown prince said, in a cable sent to the Egyptian president.

The Crown Prince held a series of meetings with a number of leaders participating in the Sharm el-Sheikh summit. He separately met with Iraqi President Dr. Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid, Crown Prince of Kuwait Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah, Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Tunisia Najla Bouden, and Chairman of the Sovereign Council in Sudan, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan. .

The meetings touched on bilateral relations, the topics on the agenda of the Green Middle East Initiative summit, as well as efforts to confront climate change.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
