The political crisis in Lebanon will be discussed on the sidelines of a conference on Iraq on Tuesday, only a few hours after Parliament is scheduled to meet to vote for a new President with no breakthrough seen in the election crisis.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she will discuss the Lebanon crisis in Kuwait. "There was a very strong commitment to a Lebanon that can discharge its affairs in an atmosphere of sovereignty and democracy without outside interference," Rice told a news conference in Bahrain on Monday. Local media reported heavy traffic around downtown Beirut due to tight security ahead of the parliament session scheduled for 12:00 pm. The daily An Nahar on Tuesday quoted the French foreign ministry as confirming that Iran and Syria will not attend the meeting on Lebanon in Kuwait. It said French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner will hold separate meetings with his Syrian and Iranian counterparts -- Walid Muallem and Manouchehr Mottaki. Rice will join Arab nations and other G8 countries for the conference of Iraq's neighbors in Kuwait, which is due to take place at 3:00 pm. The conference is expected to back Iraq's drive to disarm militias and urge more embassies to open in Baghdad. |
