Egypt for Participation of All Parties in Lebanese Decision-Making

Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr stressed Cairo’s keenness on political stability in Lebanon and called for the participation of all political parties in Lebanese decision-making.

Following talks with Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat on Tuesday, Amr said that “the only way to achieve stability is to guarantee the participation of all political players in the governing structure in Lebanon based on their real representation.”

Lebanon should avoid excluding any party from the political equation, he said.

As for Jumblat, who stressed he was in Cairo on a private visit, he said that he visited Amr to get to know him.

The Druze leader said his trip to Egypt was the first since the January 25 revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.
