U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale highlighted on Tuesday the international support for Lebanon in the security field and in coping with the burden of Syrian refugees.

He said: “With such broad support, there should be no question that the Lebanese can and should elect a president, away from foreign agendas or interference.”

He made his remarks after holding talks with Prime Minister Tammam Salam.

“The choice of a president should be for the Lebanese alone, but should be made urgently,” Hale added.
