Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, on Friday said that "Lebanon's relations with many countries, especially the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, have been shaken in recent years, which made Lebanon pay a heavy price.”

Mikati reaffirmed Lebanon’s commitment to protect its security and that of friendly countries, in particular the security of the KSA.

The Prime Minister’s words came during a roundtable discussion on activating supply chain security in Lebanon, as part of the government's plan to combat drug trafficking and smuggling through ports.

The meeting was held at the Grand Serail and was organized by the Lebanese government, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UNODC.
