Saudi Arabia's top diplomat visited Lebanon on Thursday for the first time in a decade following years of strained relations between the oil-rich kingdom and the small Mediterranean country.
Prince Faisal bin Farhan's visit comes almost two months after a ceasefire went into effect that halted Israel and the Hezbollah group's war that battered southern Lebanon and destroyed much of the group's military capabilities. It also comes following a lightening insurgency in Syria in December that ousted Bashar Assad and ended decades of his family's rule.
