The French Foreign Ministry affirmed Friday that it is communicating with all the parties who are concerned with “the recent row between Lebanon and the Arab countries.”
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian urged all parties and Lebanese officials to “promote calm and dialogue for the benefit of the Lebanese and the stability of Lebanon,” stressing that it is “crucial for the region.”
Le Drian said that “separating Lebanon from the regional crises has an essential importance.”
“Lebanon must be able to rely on its regional partners to get their support in implementing reforms,” Le Drian added.
