The UAE announced the withdrawal of its diplomats from Lebanon in solidarity with the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar, Minister of State, said the decision to withdraw the diplomats affirms the UAE\u2019s solidarity with the Kingdom in light of the ‘unacceptable approach’ of some Lebanese officials towards Saudi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al Marar pointed to the continuity of work in the Consular Section and Visa Centre in the country’s mission to Beirut during the current period. The UAE has also decided to prevent its citizens from travelling to Lebanon. This follows Saudi and Bahrain earlier recalling their ambassadors from Lebanon, with KSA also banning imports from the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 150,000+ Lebanese residents living in the UAE are not affected by the move<\/h2>\n
