Minister Colonna: France prioritizes Lebanon's presidential election amid economic challenges

The Lebanese Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Minister, Abdallah Bou Habib, met with his French counterpart, Minister Catherine Colonna, on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting of the Global Coalition against ISIS held in Riyadh.

During the meeting, the two ministers discussed the issue of the Lebanese ambassador to France, the Syrian displacement file in Lebanon, and the presidential elections.

However, Minister Colonna emphasized that France does not have a presidential candidate; instead, what matters is for Lebanon to have a president, especially in these difficult economic conditions.

The French minister also informed about President Macron appointing his former Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, as an envoy to Lebanon, where he will work to expedite electing a president for the Lebanese Republic.

For his part, Minister Bou Habib stressed the importance of France's support for the Lebanese stance on the Syrian displacement issue.
