Prime Minister Najib Miqati traveled to Mecca on Tuesday for Omra but he is scheduled to return the same day to attend the new cabinet’s photo taking session that will take place at Baabda palace on Wednesday.
Media reports said Miqati’s visit to Saudi Arabia is not an official trip and is only aimed at performing the Omra.
On Wednesday, Miqati will head the first cabinet session at Baabda and will later stand along with the members of his new government at the doorstep of the presidential palace for the official photo.
As Safir newspaper said that Miqati is expected to make an official tour to Arab and other countries once his cabinet receives the vote of confidence of parliament.
He will kick off his tour from Damascus, As Safir said.
Miqati told al-Jadeed television on Monday that his first visit as Lebanon’s new premier will be to “the beloved South,” where he will inspect the Lebanese army units and UNIFIL peacekeepers deployed there.

When you go to Syria, please visit the parents of the more than a 1000 brave victim of Assad's criminal regime.... and if you decide to stay in Syria, we promise we won't miss you!

If the Saudis know where their interests lie (and I think they do) they would provide full support for Miqati as a Sunni leader (not just as a Prime Minister). This would be the only way for them play a role in Lebanon from now on.

Well said Gebran Sons.
After all the Syrian regime did to us and to their own people, it is hard to believe they're still visiting them to request their blessing and kiss Assad's a**.
Shame on you Miqati! You're just proving you're nothing but another Syrian agent.
