Hariri, Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Hold Talks in Riyadh

Prime Minister Saad Hariri held talks on Monday in Riyadh with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a statement issued by Hariri's media office said.

Discussions between the two men focused on the Lebanese-Saudi ties and the latest developments in the region, it added.

Hariri's meeting comes one day after leading a Lebanese delegation in the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh.

Some 35 heads of state and government from Muslim-majority countries were in Riyadh for the summit, mainly from Sunni states friendly to Saudi Arabia.
