European FMs stress commitment to end Lebanon crisis
Hanan Awarekeh
The foreign ministers of France, Italy and Spain on Saturday reiterated their commitment toward ending a long-running political crisis in Lebanon that is blocking the election of a president.
Speaking at the base of the UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL in south Lebanon, France's Bernard Kouchner, Massimo D'Alema of Italy and Spain's Miguel Angel Moratinos told reporters they would impress upon Lebanese leaders during their one-day visit the importance of breaking the political deadlock that marks the country's political crisis.
?Today is an important and historical visit," Moratinos said at a brief press conference at the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqura where the three ministers visited their countries' contingents.?
The three Euro-Mediterranean countries came together with the same purpose - to help, assist and to commit themselves for peace and stability in Lebanon.
"It's a very strong sign that the three countries come at a very timely moment where Lebanon has to look forward for hope and peace in Lebanon and the region," he added.

"This common endeavor is a sign of the strong political will for peace and stability," D'Alema said.
"This afternoon we are going to meet the main political leaders, of course not because we want to interfere in the Lebanese political life but because we want, as friends of Lebanon, to encourage the dialogue and the search of a national agreement in order to provide stability and strengthen the democracy in this country."
