Loading ...President Traian Basescu stated on Wednesday that the objective of the two-day visit he is paying to Lebanon is the reconsolidation of relations between Romania and the Middle East countries.
"The visit to Lebanon is part of our programme to reconsolidate Romania's relations with the Middle East countries and to give the needed signal to the Arab world on our position on the situation in the Middle East, in Iran and to present the Romanian solutions aimed at reinstating a climate of peace in this region", stated President Basescu in a declaration given on "Henri Coanda" Airport prior to his departure to Lebanon.
At the same time, the head of the Romanian state said that the official visit is also aimed at striking a balance between attention paid to Syria and to Lebanon. "Our objective is to consolidate relations with the Republic of Lebanon. This is an objective inscribed in Romania's foreign policy guidelines.
As you well know, I paid a visit to Egypt last year, in the same region, I visited Jordan and, in the past six months, I received the President of the Palestinian National Authority, the King of Jordan and, now, I pay a visit to Lebanon which also seeks to strike a balance between the attention paid to Syria and to Lebanon", underlined Basescu.
The President also stressed that during the visit he is to meet the Republic of Lebanon President, the President of the Council of Ministers or Prime Minister, the Parliament's Chairman. Traian Basescu also said he is going to meet members of the Romanian community in Lebanon, as well as representatives of the business community. Head of the Romanian state is accompanied in his official visit to Lebanon by his spouse, Maria Basescu.
