MUSCAT: His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik congratulated Joseph Aoun on Thursday following his election as Lebanon’s new president.

Aoun was elected president after securing 99 votes during a second round of voting in the 128-seat parliament.

His election ended over two years of political vacuum in Lebanon since Michel Aoun left office in October 2022.

His Majesty sent a cable of congratulations to Aoun, offering his “best wishes for success and prosperity to the Lebanese president and the people of Lebanon,” the state news agency ONA reported.
