Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, called for a Cabinet session to be held at 3.00 pm upcoming Thursday, March 10, at Baabda Presidential Palace, with 18 items on its agenda, most notably the megacenter file and the encroachments on the oil pipelines in Tripoli.
On the other hand, Premier Mikati held on Tuesday a series of meetings at the Grand Serail, whereby he received a delegation representing the Federation of Lebanese-Gulf Businessmen Councils, headed by Samir Al-Khatib.
Speaking in the wake of the meeting, Al-Khatib said: "We visited Premeir Mikati following the establishment of the Federation of Lebanese-Gulf Businessmen Councils, which I have the honor to chair. It consists of several councils: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Emirates, Qatar and Oman. It includes members of the councils in addition to a group of economic bodies. The Union aims is to unify efforts to re-strengthen the relations that link us historically with the Gulf, as the Gulf states have always been a great support to Lebanon in all the crises and junctures it has gone through.”
On the other hand, Mikati met with Minister of Social Affairs, Hector Al-Hajjar, with discussions touching on Ministry related affairs.
The Prime Minister also received, in the presence of Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. George Kallas, the Arab Scout delegation, headed by Palestinian Minister of Youth and Sports, Jibril Rajoub.
The visit comes to discuss Lebanon's hosting of the 30th Arab Scout Conference.
