UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres arrived in Lebanon on Thursday, his deputy spokesman said, after a long-stalled presidential election and a devastating war between armed group Hezbollah and Israel. “The Secretary General has just arrived in Beirut for a solidarity visit to Lebanon,” Farhan Haq told a press briefing. Mr Guterres would meet political officials and visit UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon during his trip, which will last until Saturday, Mr Haq said.
