The Saudi Foreign Minister says Lebanon must engage in local efforts to elect a president and not rely on foreign interventions.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said Lebanon must observe its own interests when choosing its president, stressing that the country requires joint Lebanese-only efforts to elect a president, not an “Iranian-Saudi rapprochement”.
On the other hand, Bin Farhan revealed an Arab effort to formulate a dialogue that will “inevitably” take place with Damascus, in consultation with the international community.
He continued, “We must find a way to overcome the challenges posed by this status quo with regard to refugees and the humanitarian situation inside Syria.”
