Arab FMs to Discuss Lebanese Response as Bou Habib Sees Positive Signs

All eyes will turn Sunday to what might be issued by the Arab foreign ministers meeting in Kuwait regarding Lebanon’s response to the Gulf paper of demands.

An-Nahar newspaper meanwhile reported that the Arab stance might not be issued during the meeting nor immediately after it.

Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib had on Saturday handed his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Ahmed al-Nasser Al-Sabah the Lebanese answers to the Kuwaiti paper as well as a letter from President Michel Aoun to Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Nawwaf al-Ahmed Al-Sabah.

As Bou Habib described the atmosphere of his meeting with the Kuwaiti minister as “excellent,” media reports said the meeting witnessed positive indications.

“The Kuwaiti side sympathized with the Lebanese answers and expressed a positive stance on the Lebanese response in terms of the formation of a joint communication and coordination committee between Lebanon and the Gulf countries that would address any matter related to the Lebanese-Gulf ties,” the reports said.
