The Emir of Kuwait has stressed the need for Lebanon to end the vacuum in the presidency, reported the daily al-Mustaqbal on Sunday.

Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah had urged Prime Minister Tammam Salam to end the presidential impasse and elect a new president, sources accompanying the premier to the Arab League summit at Egypt's Sharm al-Sheikh told the daily.

“We need a president for Lebanon,” the emir was quoted as saying.

Salam and the accompanying delegation had arrived in Egypt on Saturday.
