WASHINGTON, May 25 /Standard Newswire/ -- The following text a statement the President of the United States of America:  

I congratulate Michel Sleiman on his election as President of Lebanon.  I am confident that Lebanon has chosen a leader committed to protecting its sovereignty, extending the government's authority over all of Lebanon, and upholding Lebanon’s international obligations under UN Security Council Resolutions, including 1559, 1701, and 1757.  I am hopeful that the Doha Agreement, which paved the way for this election, will usher in an era of political reconciliation to the benefit of all Lebanese.  We look forward to working with President Sleiman in pursuit of our common values of freedom and independence.
