Report: Paris meeting unconfirmed, no breakthrough in presidential file

Paris attempts to help Lebanon elect a president are ongoing, diplomatic sources in Paris said, adding that they see no breakthrough on the horizon.

The sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Thursday, that there are no signs of a breakthrough in the presidential file in light of the existing divergence between the politicians.

And although France is willing to help Lebanon to overcome its crises, a meeting over Lebanon in Paris is not confirmed yet, the sources said.

"Nothing is final or certain so far, but the meeting is possible," the daily quoted the sources as saying.
