Lebanese caretaker Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil kicked off on Monday a tour of Arab countries to deliver invitations to Arab leaders to attend the upcoming economic development summit.

The summit is being hosted by Beirut in January.

He arrived in Kuwait where he met with Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah.

The foreign ministry described the meeting as “excellent and brotherly.”

Bassil and Sheikh Sabah discussed bilateral ties and the importance of Lebanon committing to its policy of disassociation from regional conflicts.

The minister then traveled to Jordan where he is scheduled to meet with King Abdullah II.
