THE AMBASSADOR OF THE UNITED KINGDOM
VISITS HIS HOLINESS ARAM I
His Holiness Aram I received the Ambassador of the United Kingdom Mrs.
Frances Guy and her political adviser on September 14. The Pontiff and the
Ambassador held a long meeting during which they discussed issues related to
Lebanon and the presidential elections in particular. The Catholicos
expressed his viewpoints and concerns with respect to this issue, stressing
the importance of respecting the Constitution and electing a new president.
He underlined that the new president should be at an equal distance from all
sides and should uphold Lebanon’s interests above all other interests. He
added that the new president should also restore Lebanon’s place and role in
the international community.
Discussions were also held on ecumenical issues and particularly the
upcoming visit by the Archbishop of Canterbury to His Holiness Aram I.
