Salman bin Abdul Aziz, who is also deputy prime minister and defence minister of Saudi Arabia, will meet President Francois Hollande on Monday and will be treated to an official dinner at the Elysee presidential palace. The two are likely to touch on a $3-billion (2.3-billion-euro) package of French military equipment and arms for Leba**n's army that Riyadh has agreed to finance, as Beirut faces the threat of jihadists on its border with Syria. Salman is also due to meet Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius on Wednesday for talks over the situation in Iraq and Syria, where jihadists have seized swathes of territory and are terrorising Christians and other mi**rities.
