Lebanese presidency said that meeting was also attended by Parliament speaker. The meeting comes during national celebrations of Independence Day.
PM Saad Hariri and his family met Saturday with French President Emmanuel Macron, who invited the Lebanese leader to Paris to dispel fears that he was being held in Saudi Arabia against his will.
Lebanese media said that Hariri’s younger children are still in Saudi Arabia where they are attending school. Hariri’s older son, Hussam, studies in Britain.
A French diplomat confirmed Saad Hariri’s arrival but would not comment on his plans beyond meeting President Macron. It’s unclear when Hariri might return to Lebanon.
An official in President Emmanuel Macron’s office said Hariri is expected in France in the coming days. The official was not authorized to be publicly named.
