CHARGÉE D’AFFAIRES OF THE AMERICAN EMBASSY

VISITS HIS HOLINESS

Chargée d’Affaires of the American Embassy of Lebanon visited His
Holiness on March 19 on behalf of Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman, who
was away from the country. The two discussed the current political
situation of Lebanon.

Right after this meeting, His Holiness met with representatives of
the Lebanese opposition. His Holiness and the delegates discussed
the challenges Lebanon faces currently.

In light of his long meeting with the president of the republic,
His Excellency Gen. Emile Lahoud, and driven by his desire to bring
Lebanon out of its current situation, His Holiness emphasized the
importance of the full application of the Taef Accord, the formation
of a national unity government and the use of dialogue as a means of
solving problems.
