According to "Annahar" correspondent in Paris, Randa Taqi al-Din, it is expected that the Saudi delegation in Paris, consisting of the advisor to the Saudi Crown Prince, Nazar Al-Aloula and the Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon, Waleed Bukhari, will hold meetings at the Elysée Palace with French President's Advisor for North Africa and Middle Eastern Affairs, Patrick Durel, and French Envoy to Lebanon Jean-Yves Le Drian. This will happen before the latter's departure to Lebanon after President Emmanuel Macron's talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in India on Saturday.

According to a high-ranking French source, the meeting between the Saudi delegation and French officials will only take place after the Saudi-French meeting in India, which the French presidency announced would be held today in Beirut time on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in India.
