Regarding the issue of Lebanon, at a press conference that preceded the dinner, the French foreign minister said that although he has received a mandate by President Nicolas Sarkozy to start anew a tour and visit all the protagonists, nevertheless, he will wait so as not to obstruct the efforts of the Arab League.
