Williams Meets Charbel: Any Country Has the Right to Benefit from its Water Resources

U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams stated on Monday that any country in the region and the world has the right to benefit from the water resources that fall within its territorial waters.

He hoped after holding talks with Interior Minister Marwan Charbel that Lebanon would be able to take advantage of the maritime resources found in the Mediterranean.

The meeting also addressed the situation in Lebanon and the implementation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1701.

He said that Lebanon’s stability is important for the implementation of resolution 1701 and all other international agreements.

Williams informed the minister of the progress achieved in the implementation of the resolution.

The talks tackled Israel’s occupation of the northern section of the village of Ghajar.
