France has denied that there was a U.N. draft resolution on Lebanon and the French foreign ministry refused to comment on a recent meeting between French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and his Egyptian counterpart Ahmed Abul Geith in Cairo.
This meeting was held within the framework of a private visit by Foreign Minister Kouchner to Cairo," said French foreign ministry spokeswoman Pascal Andriani. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Zalmay Khalilzad had urged the U.N. Security Council to consider the imposition of sanctions on Syria for obstructing presidential elections in Lebanon. The Egyptian foreign ministry on Tuesday said Kouchner discussed with Abul-Geith the developments in Lebanon and Palestine in the presence of Arab League chief Amr Moussa. |
