BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday for his first visit since his resignation in November.

Hariri will meet with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman during the visit, according to a statement issued by his office.

In November, Hariri abruptly announced his resignation from Saudi Arabia during his visit to the oil-rich kingdom.

He later revoked his resignation amid accusations by Lebanese officials for Saudi Arabia of forcing Hariri to resign.
