The message was delivered when the Lebanese prime minister met with the Russian envoy on international developments and bilateral relations, according to Hariri's Information Office During the meeting, the two sides discussed the efforts being exerted to establish a just and lasting peace in the region based on the United Nations resolutions and the principles of Madrid. "It is essential at this juncture to invigorate the efforts to activate the peace process, because the absence of a just solution for Palestinian cause and a just solution between Syrian and Israel and Lebanon and Israel, is the background that generates radicalism," the ambassador noted.
