His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday commended a recent Arab League plan as a step in the right direction to address the Lebanese crisis.

During a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora, the King said the implementation of the initiative would spare Lebanon the consequences of the political vacuum the country has fallen into.

His Majesty also stressed his support of the Lebanese government and institutions in their efforts to enhance national unity and preserve the security and stability of the country and its achievements, highly valuing Siniora's role in this regard.

King Abdullah called on the Lebanese powers to continue their efforts seeking to reach a national accord that leads to electing a new president and enabling the people to stand up to challenges facing them.

The King said dialogue between all political Lebanese powers is the best approach to overcome differences, enhance national concord and preserve Lebanon's sovereignty and unity.

Siniora briefed King Abdullah on latest developments in his country and efforts exerted to elect a president in light of the Arab League initiative.
