Cairo  - Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit has asserted Egypt's support for the Lebanese agreement, a spokesman said Wednesday.

The minister had several phone calls with Lebanese leaders taking part in the Doha talks and praised the sense of responsibility of the rival factions in ending the
18-month political conflict.

Lebanese leaders returned Wednesday to Beirut after a six-day talks in the Qatari capital. The agreement will see a president elected in the coming days. (dpa)
