Hollande to Jumblat: We Will Constantly Support STL
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblt received on Thursday a cable from French President Francois Hollande, who voiced his country’s keenness on Lebanon’s stability and security.
He said in a cable to the Druze leader: “We have long defended Lebanon’s independence and sovereignty and we will continue on defending the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.”
“I am especially committed to the need to end impunity in Lebanon,” he stressed.
France is committed to maintaining the “deep ties of friendship” with Lebanon and its people, continued the French president.
“Given the regional changes, we will continue to defend the joint values and develop our cooperation in the service of the Lebanese state and institutions,” he declared.
Earlier this week, Hollande had also sent a cable to Speaker Nabih Berri, expressing to him his country’s commitment to Lebanon’s democracy and stability.
