Lebanese president meets US congressmen
Lebanon-USA, Politics, 7/26/2005
Lebanon's President Emile Lahoud yesterday said that geographic and historic factors which link between Syria and Lebanon should be taken into consideration.
"Lebanese national resistance has played an important role in liberating the biggest part of South Lebanon from the Israeli occupation... dialogue among the Lebanese is the only way to find solutions to the raised issues," President Lahoud said during a meeting with a delegation of the US Congress lead by Congressman Curt Weldon.
"When a just and comprehensive peace is established in the Middle East, Lebanon will return to perform its complete role in the region and the world," Lahoud said.
He called on the US and the international community to help Lebanon overcome difficult conditions it has passed throughout the last few months.
Weldon, for his part, said that the delegation visit aims at backing Lebanese people and expressing the American people support to them. ÒThis is a pivotal moment in the history of the Lebanese people to embrace positive and constructive change as a means of thwarting the move of instability brought about by Muslim extremists in the region,Ó said Weldon had said.
