Miqati Could Meet Saudi King during Visit to Mecca

Prime Minister Najib Miqati will probably meet with Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz during his visit to the country to perform the Omra.

Sources told al-Liwaa newspaper on Friday that the Lebanese officials are observing how the official Saudi reception of the PM will be.

They noted that Miqati will remain in Mecca until the night of al-Qadr, thus he will probably return on Saturday to Beirut.

The prime minister headed to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday night aboard a private jet.

Meanwhile, the sources added that he isn’t ready to be held accountable for approving the electricity draft law without a specific mechanism that controls the implementation and the spending on the project.
