Discussions during Saudi royal envoy Nizar Al-Aloula’s recent meeting with French President Advisor Patrick Durrell in Paris centered on Lebanon. The counterparts’ meeting, hosted at the Élysée Palace, follows an official visit by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan to Paris earlier this week.

Prince Faisal met with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna to chiefly talk over the Saudi-Iranian agreement sponsored by China.
