The French Embassy in Beirut issued on Thursday a statement congratulating the Lebanese on Independence Day, saying: "We extend our best wishes to all the Lebanese on the occasion of the anniversary of Lebanon's independence."
The statement said France will always stand besides Lebanon, with whom it shares a very close relationship.
France also hoped that a new credible and effective government would be formed as soon as possible, so as to adopt substantial and necessary measures to revitalize the country and meet the aspirations proclaimed by the Lebanese people.
