04 Feb 2021; MEMO: Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri arrived in the Egyptian capital Cairo yesterday on an official visit during which he will meet President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and a number of Egyptian officials.
Hariri and his accompanying delegation are also scheduled to meet Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry, as well as Arab League Secretary-General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, to discuss the latest regional developments and the formation of a new Lebanese government.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun recently received a letter from Al- Sisi conveyed by the Egyptian Ambassador in Beirut, Yasser Alawi, asking for Lebanon's endorsement of Egypt's nomination of Aboul Gheit as Secretary-General of the Arab League for a new term.
In his letter, Al-Sisi praised Aboul Gheit's management of the Arab League and its human and financial resources, adding this qualifies him to continue his leadership role.
