Bush To Host New Lebanese President At White House
US President George W. Bush Monday invited incoming Lebanese President Michel Sleiman to Washington for talks after congratulating him on taking office, Bush’s spokesman said.
“The president invited President Sleiman to come to Washington so the two leaders can meet to discuss issues of strategic importance to both the United States and Lebanon,” said national security spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
Bush called Sleiman to congratulate him on becoming president and “reiterated his commitment to the government of Lebanon and to a strong and modern Lebanese Armed Forces.”
Sleiman was elected by the Lebanese parliament Sunday, ending an 18-month political impasse which had brought the country to the brink of civil war.
