Statement by H.E. Prime Minister, Hassan Diab, concluding his visit to Qatar - Doha - April 20, 2021
This is a special day in the generous Doha that has always opened its heart to the Lebanese and has never given up on Lebanon.
We have deliberated with His Highness the Emir, His Excellency the Prime Minister, and Qatari officials on Arab affairs and the consequences of the absence of Arab solidarity on the Lebanese crisis. We have asserted the need for Arabs to move back into fraternity, for the region is undergoing a painful situation that requires the highest degree of coordination among brothers, with dangerous repercussions for Arab countries in particular, and which threaten our present and our future.
Unfortunately, Lebanon is going through a difficult phase, lacks a unified Arab effort and a unifying role that brings Lebanese people together, urges them to achieve mutual understanding, and blocks the way to exploit their differences.
Indeed, we found in sisterly Qatar what we were looking for, as our meetings were held within a framework of unsurprising fraternity, and the State of Qatar demonstrated its firm stance aiming at supporting Lebanon and its people, and preserving Lebanon’s security and stability.
