Envoys of Paris meeting nations meet with Berri, Mikati

Envoys from five countries that took part in the latest Paris meeting on Lebanon – U.S., France, Egypt, Qatar and KSA – met Monday in Beirut with Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker PM Najib Mikati.

The foreign delegation was comprised of U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea, French Ambassador to Lebanon Anne Grillo, Egyptian Ambassador to Lebanon Yasser Elwy, Qatari Ambassador to Lebanon Ibrahim Abdul Aziz al-Sahlawi and Saudi Embassy Counselor Fares al-Amoudi.

Ain el-Tineh sources meanwhile told al-Jadeed TV that the ambassadors put Berri in the picture of the Paris meeting and did not tackle names of presidential candidates.

“They rather urged the election of a president, the formation of a government and cooperation with the International Monetary Fund,” the sources added.
