Checchia: Sleiman’s election is a reassuring factor to the UNIFIL
Italian Ambassador to Lebanon Gabriel Checchia said he hopes the situation in Lebanon will improve now that General Michel Sleiman has been elected president.
“Sleiman constitutes a guarantee for the future of Lebanon. The country is now in safe hands,” Checchia said.
“Sleiman enjoys the respect and the trust of the whole world. His election is a factor of reassurance for UNIFIL” he added.
Checchia noted the efforts of all Lebanese leaders who participated at the Doha Conference.
“Lebanon and the whole region need security and stability. Italy and UNIFIL will keep making efforts in this regard,” he added.
