Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has said that his country is pursuing an independent approach in ongoing negotiations, stressing that any settlement would be reached through the Lebanese state and not at its expense.
“The assurances we received, and what we insist on, are that Lebanon has an independent track in the negotiations,” Aoun said on Wednesday while receiving a delegation of Maronite bishops from the diaspora.
According to a statement from the Lebanese presidency, he went on to say that Beirut was “certainly in favour of a ceasefire and of any country that helps us, including Iran.”
