Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Abdallah Ali al-Yahya arrived in Beirut on Friday for an official visit and was received by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the presidential palace in Baabda, according to the National News Agency (ANI).
Upon his arrival at Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport, Minister al-Yahya was welcomed by Lebanon's outgoing Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib.
During his visit, Abdallah Ali al-Yahya is expected to hold meetings with several Lebanese political leaders to discuss matters of mutual interest.
This visit underscores the close diplomatic ties between Kuwait and Lebanon and comes at a critical time as Lebanon continues to navigate significant political and economic challenges.
Earlier on Friday, Jassem al-Boudaïwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), also landed in Beirut. Al-Boudaïwi is set to engage with several Lebanese officials during his visit, further highlighting the region's continued diplomatic efforts to support Lebanon.
These high-level meetings signal a renewed focus on fostering cooperation and strengthening relations between Lebanon and the Gulf countries amid the ongoing challenges in the region.
