--
Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Alexander Downer sent a letter to
the Lebanese community in Australia supporting their work for freedom and
endorsing U.N. Resolution 1559.
"The Australian
Government shares the commitment of Lebanese Australians to supporting
Lebanon's sovereignty, independence and national unity. It is matter of
principle that the Government fully supports the withdrawal of foreign
troops from Lebanon" said Downer.
The letter was
addressed to the Australian Lebanese Sovereignty Board in Sydney.
The letter went on
to laud the Lebanese community in her contribution to peaceful and dynamic
Lebanon.
U.N.
Resolution 1559 asked that all foreign troops vacate Lebanon. It was meant
to send a strong signal to Syria's Ba'athists for their hegemony over
Lebanon.
