| Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt traveled to the Red Sea city of Jeddah last Saturday for talks with King Abdullah bin Abdel-Aziz Sunday evening. Information Minister Ghazi Aridi, who accompanied Jumblatt said there was "no connection whatsoever" between the visit to Riyadh and the meeting of the rival politicians at Saint Cloud, outside Paris explaining that the visit to Riyadh "was scheduled a long time ago." Jumblatt also met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal and Defense Minister Sultan bin Abdel-Aziz on Sunday. Aridi said Jumblatt's talks focused on the international tribunal to try suspects in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, among other key issues. |
