In the framework of the diplomatic campaign launched by Lebanon to explain the circumstances of the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri from Riyadh, Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Minister, Gibran Bassil, has held a series of international calls with his foreign counterparts, explaining the reasons why Lebanon deems his resignation as "unacceptable".

In his contacts, Bassil called on his counterparts to help Lebanon to secure a quick return for Hariri to his country, in order to ensure the political, constitutional and personal circumstances that allow him to make the decision he deems appropriate.

The Minister also stressed "Lebanon's adherence to all international laws and respect for international agreements and resolutions and diplomatic norms, particularly the Arab League Charter, in which Lebanon does not accept interference in the affairs of any Arab country, nor does it accept the interference in its internal affairs, as well as attacking his freedom, sovereignty, independence, dignity and unity."

Bassil expressed Lebanon's keenness to maintain the best international relations, particularly with the Arab countries
