Sison: U.S. Backs Spread of State Authority
U.S. Charge d”Affaires Michele Sison said Friday that Washington welcomes the Doha Accord and urges the Lebanese to implement it, beginning with the election of a president.
"Lebanon has entered a new era which halts violence and requires political stability leading to economic recovery," Sison told reporters after visiting Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
The Doha accord is a "positive step" along the march of bolstering democracy through electing a new president and forming a new cabinet, she added.
The United States supports the spread of state authority over all Lebanese territories, Sison said.
