Wahba concluded by saying: “We have answers. Just the opportunity to sit down together and this role is enough. I wish my brother, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait, if the government was formed and he was able to meet with His Excellency. Raise this issue. It must give Lebanon the opportunity to restate its concerns and concerns to the Arab brothers in the Arab Gulf in particular. “
