Asiri: Let Dialogue Lead to Election of President
Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awad Asiri emphasized on Friday that his country is keen on Lebanon's stability, hoping that the dialogue among rival political parties would lead to fruition and elect a head of state after a vacuum at the post.
“Saudi Arabia is keen on Lebanon's stability. We hope that the dialogue succeeds in electing a new president to enhance the constitutional institutions,” the state-run National News Agency quoted the ambassador as saying.
Asiri's comments came after meeting PM Tammam Salam at the Grand Serail where they also discussed the Syrian refugees issue in the presence of the embassy's charge d'affaires Majed al-Sharari.
Lebanon has been without a president since May last year when the term of President Michel Suleiman ended.
The rival March 8 and March 14 alliances failed so far to elect a head of state.
