BEIRUT, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri underscored Wednesday his keenness on Lebanon's policy of dissociation towards regional conflicts.
"Let everyone know that I will not sell my Arab brothers 'fake Lebanese political goods'... We are not merchants of positions and slogans, we are honest about our role towards our people and our brothers," Hariri told a rally marking the 13th anniversary of the assassination of his father, ex-PM Rafik Hariri.
"I will not accept that Lebanon leaves its Arab environment or be plunged into the inferno of Arab wars," he added.
The dissociation decision is an essential decision. Lebanon's normal position is to be a state that has the best relations with the Arab countries while rejecting any harm against them, he said.
The decision was not taken to remain mere words on paper; whoever signs a decision taken by the state must respect this decision, Hariri stressed.
He made the remarks referring to a government resolution that reaffirmed Lebanon's commitment to distance itself from regional conflicts.
The resolution was issued in the wake of Hariri's return to Lebanon following his resignation ordeal in Saudi Arabia.
