Emmanuel Macron appointed, Wednesday, June 7, his former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Yves Le Drian, as “personal envoy for Lebanon”. The objective is to “facilitate” a solution “consensual and effective” to the serious political impasse that the country is going through, explained the Elysée in a press release.
According to the presidency, there is an urgent need “reach a form of consensus” to allow the election of a president of Lebanon, a country without a head of state for more than seven months due to political blockages. And also accelerate the implementation of “necessary reforms”.
Former Minister of Defense of François Hollande (2012-2017), before joining Emmanuel Macron to take the head of the Quai d’Orsay (2017-2022), Jean-Yves Le Drian, 75, had gained ground with the world politics since the last presidential election.
