French Ambassador to Lebanon, Anne Greyu, addressed the “dear Lebanese friends” in a series of tweets on her Twitter account.

She wrote: “Dear Lebanese friends, France will remain committed to stay at your side, and will make sure that your needs are met, and your aspirations are answered, through effective concrete actions. I will remain keen on that, and will continue to work with you and by your side.”

“The tragic situation in the country requires a constructive commitment by all political forces, so that the government led by President Najib Mikati, can work with determination to achieve stability, unity and prosperity in Lebanon, and for the sake of all Lebanese.” She added.

Greyu continued, “After 13 months of vacancy, the formation of the government constitutes the first and essential stage of Lebanon’s recovery.  Now, It is urgent to start working.”
