Lebanese ruling majority and opposition made statements on Sunday to express their welcome over the resolution to end Lebanese crisis reached at the meeting of the Arab Foreign Ministers Council.
According to reports, Arab foreign ministers adopted a three-point action plan on Saturday to solve the Lebanese crisis in Egypt's capital of Cairo, calling for a swift consensus on Lebanese president election to pick out army chief General Michel Suleiman as president.
They also urged all parties in Lebanon to reach an immediate agreement on forming a national unity government in line with the constitution and to draft a new election law following the Lebanese presidential election and forming a new government.
The Lebanese presidential seat has been vacant since former President Emile Lahoud ended his term on Nov. 24, 2007, and the sharply divided Lebanese parliament has postponed the presidential elections for 11 times till Jan. 12.
