Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has accepted an invitation to travel to Paris, the French foreign minister said yesterday. "He will come to France and the prince has been informed," said Jean-Yves Le Drian, referring to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman with whom he held talks late Wednesday. Asked about the date of the visit for talks with President Emmanuel Macron, Le Drian replied: "Mr. Hariri's schedule is a matter for Mr. Hariri."

Macron has stressed that Hariri should be able to return to Lebanon to confirm or withdraw his resignation in person.
