RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman call for presidential elections in Lebanon after a fragile ceasefire agreement went into effect there.
“Together, they called for the holding of presidential elections in Lebanon with the aim of bringing the Lebanese people together and carrying out the reforms necessary for the stability and security of the country,” Macron’s office says after the two leaders met on the first day of a state visit by the French president to Saudi Arabia.
