Arab Summit urges Lebanese to engage in dialogue to elect president

Arab nations on Friday expressed their “solidarity with Lebanon” in the closing statement of the 32nd Arab Summit that was held in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

“We urge all Lebanese parties to engage in dialogue in order to elect a president who would satisfy the aspirations of the Lebanese,” the statement said.

It also stressed that the election of a president is necessary for “the regularity of the work of state institutions” and for “approving the reforms that are necessary to pull Lebanon out of its crisis.”
