Miqati: Lebanon Holds Onto Justice, International Resolutions

Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati stressed Monday that Lebanon holds onto its ties with the international community and the concept of justice.

“Lebanon holds onto the best of relations with the international community, the respect of international resolutions and the concept of justice,” Miqati told a visiting Dutch parliamentary delegation.

He said he was intensifying contacts with all Lebanese parties to guarantee a holistic participation in the cabinet, hoping that the formation of the new government would end the political crisis in Lebanon.

The head of the delegation, Hendrik Jan Ormel, said the Netherlands was looking forward to a new Lebanese government and good bilateral ties.

He said Miqati informed his visitors that he was moving forward in his efforts to form the cabinet.

The parliamentary delegation also met with President Michel Suleiman.
