Hollande Reiterates to Geagea France’s Support to Lebanon
French President Francois Hollande reiterated on Friday that his country will continue to defend Lebanon’s independence, sovereignty and unity of its territories.
“Our main concern is to preserve the stability (in Lebanon),” Hollande said in a cable sent to Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea.
He pointed out that he is keen to end impunity in Lebanon, voicing his support to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which was established to probe the 2005 assassination of ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and 21 others.
Hollande echoed his country’s will to preserve the “deep friendship” between Lebanon and France.
“Be sure that France will help Lebanon face the challenges amid the continuous developments in the region,” the French president added.
