President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, received Prime Minister, Hassan Diab, on Wednesday at the Presidential Palace.
The meeting between President Aoun and Premier Diab was devoted to follow up on the implementation of the measures and procedures taken in previous meetings regarding the issues of fuel and medications, in addition to other living issues.
It was decided to hold subsequent meetings during the next few days, to complete the implementation of planned measures and remove all obstacles which emerged during the implementation process.
The President also met with Maronite Patriarch, Bechara Boutros Rahi, and was briefed on the results of the Vatican meeting, held at the invitation of His Holiness Pope Francis, on the “Day of Meditation and Prayer for Lebanon”.
After the meeting, the Patriarch made the following statement:
“You know that this visit is to brief His Excellency the President, about the atmosphere of what had happened in Rome, knowing that he followed-up on this issue.
However, it is my duty to brief His Excellency more about the atmosphere which we were in. It was also important to tell His Excellency that the address of His Holiness the Pope, is a road map for us. And since we are heads of churches, we have to start our work within our ecclesiastical framework in order to implement this map which His Holiness put up in his address.
We, as heads of churches, must work in the line which concerns us. This was all my conversation with His Excellency the President, since in the end we all have to bear the responsibilities of our society and country, each from his position, His Excellency the President and I as the Patriarch and others as well. Lebanon is based on all of us, and we do not mean one group without the other.
The President then received MP George Atallah and addressed with him the general situation in addition to recent political and governmental developments.
Needs of Koura region, and road networks in light of the international loan allocated for this purpose, were also tackled in the meeting.
