![]() French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner He arrived in Beirut on November 12 and met with Patriarch Sfeir and the main Lebanese political leaders on November 13. Following the postponement of the Lebanese parliamentary session of November 21, this new visit by the minister is part of France’s ongoing engagement to further an understanding among the parties for the election of a president with broad support. The minister’s previous visits and that by the Elysée secretary-general are evidence of this engagement and the efforts we’ve been pursuing for several months to foster the search for a solution to the current deadlock in Lebanon. We expect Syria to contribute to such a result by not blocking the achievement of an inter-Lebanese agreement in any way. ---------------------------------------------------------- Read the Ministry Spokeperson’s answers to questions from the daily press briefing (November 13, 2007)
