France Reaffirms Support for Saniora's 'Elected' Government

France on Sunday reaffirmed its support for the "elected" government of Premier Fouad Saniora, stressing that Lebanon's stability is an "important contribution to world stability."
The remark was made by visiting French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie after separate talks with her Lebanese counterpart Elias al-Murr and Saniora. "Stability in Lebanon is stability for the region (Middle East), but it also is an important contribution to world stability … France will maintain its serious efforts to help Lebanon and its government," she announced.

Alliot-Marie said her visit to Lebanon had "two goals: First to express France's support for Premier Saniora and the elected Lebanese government which enjoys the full legitimacy to safeguard Lebanon's sovereignty."
