British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Thursday stressed to
Prime Minister Najib Miqati his country’s support for Lebanon and inquired
about the efforts that are being made by the Lebanese government to aid the
Syrian refugees, the premier’s office said.
Miqati is in London to attend the opening ceremony of the 2012
Olympic Games. He is accompanied by Youth and Sports Minister Faisal Karami.
According to Miqati’s office, Hague lauded the dialogue sessions
held in Lebanon, hoping they will continue for the sake of the country.
The British official also stressed the importance of preserving
stability in southern Lebanon, announcing that his government will double its
aid to the Lebanese army.
Hague said the issue of aid would be discussed during Army
Commander General Jean Qahwaji’s planned visit to Britain in September.
