Lebanese President Michel Aoun said on Monday he was pleased by Saad al-Hariri's comment that he would return to Lebanon soon to discuss his resignation as prime minister, presidential palace sources said.
In separate remarks relayed by visitors to him, Aoun gave a positive assessment of comments Hariri made in an interview on Sunday Only registered users can see links on this board!

, his first one since his shock decision to quit delivered from Riyadh on November 4.
"President Aoun expressed his pleasure at Hariri's announcement of his return to Lebanon soon," a source said. "Rescinding his resignation is one of his options," Aoun was quoted as saying of Hariri.
Hariri's resignation has pitched Lebanon into a deep political crisis and shaken confidence in its heavily indebted state.
The move - which has still to be accepted by Aoun - thrust Lebanon back into the forefront of the regional tussle between Sunni-led Saudi Arabia and the Shi'ite Islamist government of Iran.
Saudi-allied Hariri said in the interview he would return to Lebanon within days, and he held out the possibility he could rescind his resignation if Iran-backed Hezbollah agreed to stay out of regional conflicts such as Yemen.

, who resigned saying that he feared assassination. His father Rafic Hariri, who was also a prime minister, was assassinated in 2005.
Hariri also accused Iran and Hezbollah of sowing strife in the Arab world.
Lebanese government officials and senior sources close to Hariri believe Saudi Arabia coerced him into quitting and has put him under effective house arrest since he flew to Saudi Arabia on November 3.
Saudi Arabia denies this, and Hariri said during his interview on Sunday that he was a free man.
Riyadh subsequently accused Lebanon of declaring war on it because of Hezbollah.
The United States and other Western powers have however struck a different tone to Riyadh Only registered users can see links on this board!

, affirming their backing for Hariri and the Lebanese state even though they too regard Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
Aoun said on Sunday that Hariri's movements were being restricted in Riyadh, the first time the Lebanese authorities had publicly declared their belief that Saudi Arabia is holding him against his will.
Prior to Hariri's interview, Aoun had also said that the restrictions on his freedom threw doubt on anything Hariri had said or would say, and that his statements could not be considered a statement of free will.

, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Ethiopia's flagship Chinese-built Hawassa Industrial Park has proved successful in just less than a year as it has attracted various world-class textile and apparel companies to the east African country.
One among the renowned companies that have shown interest in the Hawassa Industrial Park is PVH, a company known for marketing diversified portfolio of brands including Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. The company has already established its first manufacturing industry in the Hawassa industrial park.
The industrial zone has so far welcomed 18 companies that have already started operations inside the industrial park. Six of them are presently exporting their products to the international market.
The east African country has targeted to generate 1 billion U.S. dollars annually once the park starts operations at its full potential.
Built by China Civil Engineering Corporation (CCECC), the Hawassa industrial park, located in Ethiopia's southern city of Hawassa Only registered users can see links on this board!

, some 275km south of the capital Addis Ababa, was initially completed in a record time of nine months back in July 2016.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, speaking at a ceremony marking the park's official operation commencement on Monday, said that his country's favorable business environment is drawing a growing number of foreign investors and huge Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
The premier further asserted that the Hawassa industrial park can be seen as a "foundation in Ethiopia's ambition to be the manufacturing hub of the African continent."
The Ethiopian Investment Commission has also announced its plan to replicate the best lessons obtained from the Hawassa Industrial Park to other parks being built across the country.
The Ethiopian government highly believes that the development of industrial parks is the major path for the country to realize its vision of becoming manufacturing powerhouse in the African continent.

, the country has budgeted more than one billion U.S. dollars for the construction of industrial parks in the second five-year Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP-II) period, effective from 2015 to 2020.
The Ethiopian government expects the development of industrial parks throughout the country would increase the share of the manufacturing sector to the country's agriculture sector dominated GDP, in which the manufacturing sector stood at only 5 percent for many years.
After proved successful by attracting PVH to the flagship Hawassa industrial park as an anchor company, the Ethiopian Investment Commission has planned to replicate this plan further to Mekele and Kombolcha industrial parks that are expected to be operational by the end of this month.
