Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awad Assiri noted that Prime Minister Tammam Salam's visit to the kingdom coincides with rough developments in the region and reflects the importance of continuous dialogue between the sister states' leaders.

"Salam will be meeting with King Salam bin Abdul Aziz and several other high ranking officials so as to express gratitude on behalf of the Lebanese government for the Saudi grant to the Army," he said, adding that the talks will also focus on the stances taken by the kingdom towards Lebanon and its people on all levels.

Assiri noted that the ministers accompanying Salam on his visit will meet their Saudi counterparts so as to strengthen the communication between both countries' ministries and facilitate people's business.
