Saad al-Hariri, who resigned from his post as Lebanon's prime minister two weeks ago from Saudi Arabia, said on Friday he has been in Saudi for discussions "on the future of the situation in Lebanon and its relations with the surrounding Arab region".

Writing on Twitter, Hariri also said information which has been circulating about his stay, his departure and his family are "just rumors".
