Miqati Meets Emir of Qatar, Says Arabs to Restore Ties with Lebanon
Prime Minister Najib Miqati held talks Saturday in Doha with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.
Miqati and Qatar's ruler discussed "the relations between Lebanon and Qatar and the relation between Lebanon and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries," Lebanon's National News Agency said.
Miqati also met with his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Khaled bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al-Thani and discussed with him the Lebanese situation and the bilateral Lebanese-Qatari ties.
Speaking at a press conference after the two meetings, Miqati stressed that "Lebanon always needs such Arab sponsorship."
"Qatar is standing by Lebanon and God willing all Arab countries, especially the Gulf nations, will restore their normal relations with Lebanon," Miqati said.
"We need this Arab embracement of our country," he added.
The premier also noted that the Emir of Qatar "fully understands the problems in Lebanon" and that he promised that the Qatari foreign minister would visit Lebanon to "personally inquire about Lebanon's needs."

The Emir is reportedly shopping for a new brain, having been advised by key people that a new brain would extend his reign by at least four years. He has recently experienced some glitches in brain-function, including calling on Israel to "send all the Palestinians back where they came from."
