French FM visits Lebanon to press for formation of government – Roya News English
Thursday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian met with Lebanese officials in Beirut, where political deadlock still prevails, preventing the formation of a proper government and thus the implementation of necessary economic reforms.
Le Drian met the Lebanese President Michel Aoun in a meeting that lasted less than an hour, and he left without making any statement. He is supposed to visit Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri later.
On the eve of his visit to Beirut, Le Drian tweeted that he was visiting Lebanon "carrying a very firm message to the Lebanese officials," adding, "We will deal firmly with those who obstruct the formation of the government, and we have taken measures (...) This is only the beginning."
