Hollande Stresses France's Commitment to Ending Presidential Impasse in Message to Berri

Speaker Nabih Berri received on Tuesday a message from French President Francois Hollande, who expressed his country's keenness on resolving Lebanon's presidential deadlock.

He said: “We are working on ending the impasse.”

“We support Lebanon in the political, economic, financial, and military fields, and in confronting the burden of Syrian refugees.”

The French president had paid a visit to Lebanon in April where he held talks with senior officials, including Berri.

The speaker had also received a telephone call from each of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Kuwaiti Speaker Marzouq al-Ghanim, reported the National News Agency.

He also received Syrian Ambassador Ali Abdul Karim Ali at his Ain el-Tineh residence.
