Lebanon's foreign minister Gebran Bassil met his country's Maronite Patriarch Bishara Boutros Rai in the Italian capital, Rome, on Wednesday, diplomatic sources told Adnkronos International.
Rai was received in Riyadh on Tuesday by Saudi Arabian leader King Salman and by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
During his visit to Riyadh, Rai also met Lebanon's prime minister Saad Hariri, who on 4 November announced his resignation during a visit to Saudi Arabia.
In his broadcast resignation speech, Hariri said feared for his life and accused Iran of meddling in his country's affairs. He has yet to return to Lebanon from Saudi Arabia.
