Lebanese President, Michel Aoun, received on Thursday former Secretary-General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, who congratulated him on his election.
“I expressed my optimism to President Aoun regarding the future of Lebanon, and wished him all success in his national responsibility,” Moussa pointed out.
The pair tackled the general situation in the region in light of latest developments.
President Aoun received congratulatory cables on the occasion of Independence day from French President François Hollande, Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and two other Qatari officials.
“Your election and the designation of a new Prime Minister constitute a new phase for Lebanon. Lebanese politicians proved their capacity of assuming responsibilities and putting terms to the presidential vacancy,” said Hollande in his letter.
The latter also hoped that a government of national unity would be quickly formed, reiterating his support to Lebanon.
Separately, General Aoun received Lebanese school students at Baabda Palace.
