United Nations Committed to Give Lebanon Necessary Support
U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams met Thursday with PM-designate Saad Hariri at Center House, and renewed the United Nations commitment "to offer the support that Lebanon needs."
Williams told reporters the talks covered "the challenges that Lebanon is currently facing and will be facing in the future."
He expressed hope a government can be formed "soon in order to address the economic, social and political difficulties."
The meeting also covered the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701, three years after its adoption, he said.
"The Lebanese authorities and various political groupings have reiterated their commitment to Resolution 1701," Williams said.
"Today I also expressed hope, during my talks with the premier-designate, for the next government, once formed, to work effectively to renew its commitment to the resolution and to work on its full implementation," he added.
