Premier Fouad Saniora has called for "the best relations with Syria under the Arab umbrella." Saniora made the call in an address at a dinner he hosted Friday for participants in the Arab Economic Forum.
He said Lebanon' wants "sound relations with Syria based on mutual respect for the independence and sovereignty of each of the two states." Saniora, addressing Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa who was invited to the banquet, said: "We are determined on working towards ending this (Lebanese-Syrian) problem by speeding up the election of a president." The Majority Premier also said sit-ins launched by the Hizbullah-led opposition since Dec. 1, 2006, should be "eliminated, constitutional institutions should be reactivated and the economy should receive a boost." |
