Mikati urges Vatican to push for new president in Lebanon
Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati held talks Wednesday at the Grand Serail with the newly-appointed Papal Ambassador to Lebanon, Paolo Borgia.
“The relations between Lebanon and the Vatican were reviewed during the meeting and the Holy See reiterated its keenness on Lebanon and its sons,” the National News Agency said.
Mikati for his part said that he is “counting on the efforts of the Vatican, in light of its moral authority and ties with all parties, to push for consensus among the Lebanese and the holding of the presidential election.”
