Abu Jamra, a member of Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement, is to accompany President Michel Suleiman on a visit to Saudi Arabia.
Abu Jamra, in an interview with the Saudi newspaper Okaz, said relations between Beirut and Riyadh would "always remain excellent."
"Entente," according to Abu Jamra, has always overwhelmed relations between Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.
His remarks sharply contradicted a stand declared by Aoun on Saturday in which he attacked alleged Saudi dominance over Lebanon.
Aoun said Saturday at a rally to commemorate those killed in the Syrian-led military offensive that ousted him from power on Oct. 13, 1990 that Syrian troops withdrew from Lebanon in 2005, but dependence on Americans and Saudis continued.
"The Syrians withdrew, but dependence on Americans and Saudis continued," Aoun said
Aoun added : "Taef Accord put Lebanon in a Syrian-Saudi condominium. In reference to the agreement reached in Saudi Arabia in 1990 to end the civil war in Lebanon
