BEIRUT, March 3 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri went on an official visit to Saudi Arabia and held a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Hariri's media office affirmed Saturday.
"During the meeting, they discussed the developments in the region and the bilateral relations between the two countries" the statement said.
Hariri met Saudi King Salman on Wednesday in his first visit to Saudi Arabia since his bizarre resignation announcement in the kingdom sparked a crisis between Beirut and Riyadh.
Hariri had posted a selfie on Friday on his Twitter page with the Crown Prince and the Saudi Ambassador to the United States Khaled bin Salman.
On Nov. 4, Hariri announced that he was stepping down in a televised address from Riyadh, only to rescind it the following month after France intervened.
The shock resignation stirred tensions between Riyadh and Beirut, amid suspicions Hariri had been placed under house arrest.
His visit comes after a meeting Monday in Beirut with Saudi envoy Nizar al-Alula during which Hariri said he received and accepted an invitation to travel to Riyadh.
Alula also met with President Michel Aoun, who told him of Lebanon's desire to "maintain the best relations" with the oil-rich Gulf state.
