Qatari emir tells Aoun Doha ready to help in electricity and energy
President Joseph Aoun helds talks Wednesday in Doha with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, thanking Qatar for “the support it has offered Lebanon in the various fields.”
“The Lebanese Army is fully performing its duty in south Lebanon in implementation of Resolution 1701, but the continuation of Israeli occupation obstructs the continued deployment of the army, especially amid the repeated attacks as happened today,” Aoun told Sheikh Tamim.
Qatar’s ruler for his part described Aoun’s visit as “important and historic for developing relations between the two countries.”
“We want to see Lebanon stable and there are appropriate circumstances for that inside and outside the country, and Qatar is ready to offer what Lebanon needs in the fields of electricity and energy and any other sector, in addition to its continued support for the army,” Sheikh Tamim added.
The Presidency also said that Aoun and Sheikh Tamim “agreed on the need to preserve civil peace in Lebanon, stressing the need to implement what was mentioned in the inaugural presidential speech, especially in terms of arms’ monopolization in the hands of the Lebanese state.”
