Lebanese Forces Party leader Samir Geagea, on Tuesday said after his Maarab meeting with Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Al-Bukhari, that talks with the KSA diplomat witnessed a horizon tour over the most recent developments in Lebanon and the region. 

“We’ve focused on the Lebanese crisis and dwelt on the impending presidential elections; however, there is no salvation for Lebanon except with its Arab depth,” Geagea said.

“We did not discuss any names for the Lebanese presidency, but we’ve discussed credentials; it is very normal that they [KSA] expect to deal with a president who doesn’t support corruption,” Geagea added, noting that he had sensed a Saudi interest in Lebanon, “but Saudi Arabia requires a real country to deal with.”

Moreover, he stressed that the only salvation for Lebanon was its people's adherence to its constitution and to the Taif Agreement.

“We have the ingredients for success and rescue, and it is our responsibility to present the beautiful image of Lebanon, not the image of corruption and waste."
