Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received in Riyadh on Monday Chairperson of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Patrick Specht and an accompanying delegation.

The final candidates to host Expo 2030 will be officially announced in May ahead of a final vote on a host in November.

Saudi Arabia made its bid under the slogan “Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow”, inviting the world to share how to imagine a different future and what actions taken today will shape a prosperous and sustainable tomorrow.

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.
