The French Foreign Affairs Minister pointed out that there will be a meeting today, tomorrow or next Wednesday between Michel Aoun and Saad Al-Hariri and another meeting between all fourteen parties in Lebanon. He added, "After that we will see. We are strongly determined to help in the Arab League's initiative, hoping the initiative will end in the following points: first, election of the unanimous candidate, General Michel Suleiman; second, the formation of a government representing all blocs in the parliament, and the third point is the process of election. The three points of the Arab League's initiative are the same ones of the French initiative."
