Lebanon's Hariri: election "very positive" sign to international community

BEIRUT: Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said on Monday the international community should look at results of Lebanon's election in a "very positive way".
Lebanon on Sunday held its first parliamentary elections since 2009. Lebanon is under pressure to prove to international donors and investors -- who pledged more than $11 billion to Beirut last month -- that it has a credible plan to reform its economy. Holding elections was seen as a key part of this.
