Report: France received 'signed written' guarantees from Franjieh
French presidential adviser Patrick Durel has received from Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh signed written guarantees about his stance on different domestic and Arab issues, Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported Thursday.
Durel conveyed the guarantees to Saudi Arabia, the daily said.
Saudi royal envoy Nizar Al-Aloula told Durel, in the presence of Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari to leave the guarantees in order to study them.
Franjieh had met Durel last month in Paris and reportedly discussed Saudi demands regarding the presidential file.
A local media also reported Thursday that the presidential impasse is near and that a president might be elected before June. It said that talks are ongoing between the five nations that took part in the latest Paris meeting over Lebanon and that France might send an envoy to Beirut in the coming days.
