Miqati to Discuss Bilateral Ties during Visit to Paris in January
Prime Minister Najib Miqati will head to Paris on January, 7 to meet with President Nicolas Sarkozy, his French counterpart Francois Fillon and other senior officials, al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Tuesday.
According to the daily, the premier will discuss the latest developments in the region and Lebanon, bilateral ties and the future of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.
French Ambassador to Lebanon Denis Pietton revealed earlier in December that Miqati had received an official invitation from his French counterpart to visit France.
In September, Miqati joined the "Friends of Libya" conference at the Elysee palace to discuss funding for war-shattered Libya as well as police training and diplomatic recognition for its future administration.
However, Miqati only met with French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe.
