Qatar's new emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Sunday stressed to President Michel Suleiman and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati during talks in Doha that the presence of Lebanese employees in Qatar is not in danger.
Suleiman and Miqati, who were accompanied by Deputy PM Samir Moqbel, returned from Doha after they extended congratulations to Sheikh Tamim on assuming his duties as the ruler of the country, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
Suleiman hoped Sheikh Tamim “will continue on the path of Sheikh Hamad regarding the bilateral ties between the two countries and efforts to strengthen them,” NNA said.
Talks also tackled the presence of Lebanese employees in Qatar, with Sheikh Tamim stressing that “this presence is secure and the Lebanese in Qatar are among their family and they have been abiding by and respecting the laws of the State of Qatar.”
The emir lauded “their developmental role in Qatar in all fields.”
The meeting also addressed “the situations in the region, especially in Syria, and the need to find a political solution and put an end to violence, killing and destruction.”
