BEIRUT: Prime Minister Tammam Salam will head on an official visit to the United Arab Emirates next week to discuss the situation in Lebanon and the region, a source close to the premier said Tuesday.
The source told The Daily Star that Salam would meet Monday with the emir of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan.
He said Salam would later head to Dubai for talks with Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum.
Salam’s UAE trip, according to the source, was part of an Arab tour the prime minister kicked off earlier this year with a visit to Saudi Arabia.
During his May visit, Salam met Saudi King Abdullah and senior Saudi officials.
It was Salam’s first official visit to Riyadh since he took office in February.
