BEIRUT, Aug 4 (NNN-NNA) – Newly-appointed Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Charbel Wehbi, emphasised the need for Lebanon to strengthen ties with all friendly countries, to get out of its crisis, local media reported.
“Lebanon has friendly ties with countries that are still effective in the international arena,” Wehbi was quoted as saying, by Elnashra, an online independent newspaper.
Wehbi did not rule out future visits to Syria, to achieve some goals for his country.
“We should be open to visit any Arab country,” he said.
Wehbi noted that Lebanon is not besieged by the United States, but the U.S. has imposed sanctions on specific parties in the country.
“These issues can be discussed with the concerned parties,” he said.
Wehbi was appointed yesterday, as successor to Former Foreign Minister, Nassif Hitti, who resigned earlier in the day.
