U.S. Hails National Dialogue, Urges Lebanese Foes to ‘Engage Constructively’
The United States welcomed on Monday all efforts exerted by Lebanese leaders to strengthen the national unity and stability in the country.
“We encourage the participants in the national dialogue to engage constructively,” the U.S. embassy said via twitter.
It stressed that the U.S. is committed to promoting Lebanon’s stability, sovereignty and independence.
President Michel Suleiman headed all-party talks at the Baabda palace between Lebanese foes to restore calm in Lebanon after several security incidents in the country.
However, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea refused to attend the national dialogue as he considered it “useless.”
