Suleiman: Modern Electoral Law Will Pave Way for Rise of Fair State

President Michel Suleiman stressed on Thursday the importance of holding dialogue between all the political factions.

He noted: “Dialogue has become a necessity for all countries and not just Lebanon.”

On an electoral law to be adopted for parliamentary elections, he said: “The adoption of a modern electoral law that allows the widest representation of the people will help pave the way for the rise of a fair democratic state.

The president then held talks with Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour after the Lebanese government agreed to recognize the Libyan National Transitional Council.

Suleiman then met with the council’s envoy, Abdullah al-Zabdani, who thanked Lebanon for recognizing the council.
