France and Saudi Arabia have held a joint phone call with
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati, a gesture seen as significant in
resolving an unprecedented diplomatic crisis between Riyadh and Beirut.
The call was made on Saturday as French President Emmanuel
Macron visited Saudi Arabia after trips to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
The kingdom and other Gulf states withdrew their ambassadors
from Beirut last month, angered by a government minister who criticized the
Saudi-led war in Yemen. The minister resigned on Friday.
Macron, who was in Saudi Arabia for talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman , told reporters that Riyadh had committed to re-engage financially in the short term.
“We are, therefore, now going to work in a very concrete way
to put this together between the two of us,” he said.
Macron said that during the call with Mikati, he and Prince
Salman relayed “a clear message Saudi Arabia and France want to be fully
committed”.
