Beirut : British Foreign Secretary David Miliband reaffirmed firm support of his government to the Doha Accord between the Lebanese fueding parties.
The future of Lebanon is not only important for the Lebanese but for the entire region, Miliband told reporters following his meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri here on Sunday.
The United Kingdom believes that Lebanon’s stability is vital for the whole region and that the Doha accord provided ground for more progress towards stability in Lebanon and the region, he noted.
Concerning the disputed Shebaa Farms between Lebanon and Israel, the British minister noted that substantive dialogue between the two countries would be conducive to regional stability.
He said he planned to hold more talks with the Lebanese leaders on several issues including the future steps after the Doha Accord such as the government formation and the electoral law as well as the security and economic issues.
Miliband reiterated also support for the implementation of all provisions of the United Nations resolutions concerning Lebanon including the UN Security Council resolution 1701.
He arrived here earlier Sunday on a one-day official visit to Lebanon for talks with President Michel Suleiman, Berri, and Prime Minister-designate Fuad Al-Siniora.
