Saudi Ambassador visits Lebanon's former President Suleiman to discuss current developments

Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Waleed Bukhari visited former President Michel Suleiman on Friday at his residence in Yarzeh. 

The meeting covered critical current political developments in Lebanon and the region and several topics of mutual interest.

After the meeting, Suleiman commented that it marks a "new momentum toward electing a president and avoiding the pitfalls of international politics and power struggles, preventing Lebanon from being used as a pawn in global games. ''

He emphasized that the process starts with electing a head of state and must include serious oversight of Resolution 1701, as restoring the state's presence and economic recovery will be lengthy.
