Director of the Department of North Africa and the Middle East at the French Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Christophe Farnaud, on Thursday highlighted the necessity to swiftly form an efficient and active government that would be able to restore confidence and fulfil the aspirations of the Lebanese people.
"The hardships Lebanon is witnessing are critical and they are a matter of concern for everybody," Farnaud told a news conference at the French Embassy in Beirut.
"France has always stood by the side of Lebanon in both the good and bad times, and we are aware of the current crisis, which is an economic, political and social one," the French envoy said.
"The goal of visit us to hear and understand what the Lebanese want and not to impose solutions," he explained, adding that his mission "comes within the frame of the deep friendship between the two countries and the respect of Lebanon's sovereignty."
