NNA – Caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, Dr. Abdallah Bou Habib, received in his office on Thursday Swiss Ambassador to Lebanon, Marion Weichelt Krupski.

Caretaker Minister Bou Habib stressed that "Lebanon welcomes Swiss efforts to build a diplomatic dialogue in the Middle East, as an alternative to the language of occupation, guns, wars, destruction, and displacement."

Bou Habib also met with French Ambassador to Lebanon, Hervé Magro, with whom he discussed preparation for the French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné’s visit to Lebanon, and the bilateral relations.

On the other hand, Bou Habib contacted by phone his Austrian counterpart, Alexander Schallenberg, during which they exchanged views on the latest developments in the Middle East region, and Bou Habib’s upcoming visit to Austria.
