French President's Special Envoy to Lebanon, Jean-Yves Le Drian, will arrive in Beirut Tuesday in a bid to break the presidential deadlock in the crisis-hit country.

Le Drian will meet with Speaker Nabih Berri on Wednesday, Asharq al-Awsat newspaper said, adding that Berri will respond to Quintet's statement after meeting Le Drian.

The ambassadors of Egypt, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United States had said in a joint statement earlier this month that "Lebanon cannot afford to wait another month" without a president, stressing that consultations are needed to end the current political stalemate.

"Those who refuse to participate in (a presidential) dialogue are responsible for the consequences," Berri was quoted as saying.

Al-Akhbar newspaper had reported earlier this week that while in Lebanon Le Drian will also meet with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and the Quintet's ambassadors.

The daily said that France is considering sending invitations to hold a dialogue conference in Paris that would gather the Lebanese political forces to discuss the presidential file.

Berri reportedly refused the Paris Dialogue. "Why (would it be held) in Paris and not in Beirut or an Arab country," Berri was quoted as asking.

Ahead of Berri's meeting with Le Drian, the Speaker will meet Monday with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Lisa Johnson before she heads to Washington where she will brief other U.S. ambassadors on the outcome of the presidential discussions, Asharq al-Awsat said.

Sources meanwhile told ad-Diyar that French President Emmanuel Macron is determined to raise the presidential and the Lebanese-Syrian border files with American President Joe Biden during a French-American summit on June 7.

The daily said that Macron has floated the idea of deploying international forces on the Lebanese-Syrian border to stem the flow of irregular migrants and weapons to Lebanon. The idea was rejected by Lebanese and Arab officials who visited Paris in the past weeks, ad-Diyar said.
