Lebanese President General Michel Aoun reiterated his condemnation of the continued Israeli violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and the use of Lebanese airspace to launch attacks on Syria.
President Aoun’s remarks came during a joint press conference on Sunday with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Aoun stressed Lebanon’s adherence to exercising its sovereignty over its entire territory and its full rights to invest its natural resources.
He affirmed Lebanon’s commitment to implementing Resolution No. 1701 in all its aspects, maintaining stability on the southern border, and permanent cooperation between the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL forces.
In turn, Guterres, who arrived in Lebanon on Sunday, said: “I told President Aoun that I came with one simple message, which is that the United Nations stands in solidarity with the Lebanese people.”
Guterres called on the international community to strengthen support for Lebanon and to continue supporting the Lebanese army and other security institutions in a way that helps stabilize the country.
