RNA - Aoun pointed out at the beginning of the Lebanese government session held at the Baabda presidential Palace that his government is only committed to what is stated in the inaugural speech and the ministerial statement, Al Manar reported.

 

Commenting on the summit in Riyadh and the circumstances that accompanied the issuance of the final statement after the departure of the Lebanese delegation, President Aoun said, “We, in Lebanon, are committed to what is stated in the inaugural speech and the ministerial statement.”

 

Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, also spoke at the session, saying that the Lebanese position expressed by our national unity stems from the inaugural speech and the ministerial statement.

 

"What matters to us is that the positive atmosphere remains, and Lebanon stays neutralized from the problems surrounding it. Lebanon’s participation in this conference was natural, and we are constantly working on restoring good relations with all countries in view of how important this is to us.”
