Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met on Tuesday with Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam in Beirut and discussed solutions to end the presidential vacuum in Lebanon, which has been ongoing since 2014.
Lebanon has been without a president since the end of former Lebanese President Michel Suleiman’s term in 2014, which was followed by deep disagreement among Lebanese political powers.
Shoukry arrived in Beirut on Monday in a three-day visit where he also met with his Lebanese counterpart Gebran Bassil and discussed ways to help rival Lebanese political groups find common ground.
Shoukry also met with Speaker of the Lebanese House of Representatives Nabih Berri on Tuesday and discussed the political situation in Lebanon.
