President of the Republic, Michel Aoun, on Wednesday hoped that the crises jolting the Arab world would end soon and that the Arab states would be open to each other.
"We, the Lebanese, consider that the Arab countries are a vital extension to us and that the current war in Syria has isolated our lands from this extension," Aoun said.
He also emphasized on the cooperation among all Arab countries, voicing relief over the two decisions made by Saudi Arabia to collaborate with Lebanon in the fields on education and housing.
Moreover, Aoun welcomed the regional and international conferences taking place in Lebanon.
His remarks came during a meeting at Baabda Palace today with the participants in the 15th International Operations and Maintenance Conference in the Arab Countries, OMAINTEC, which was recently held in Beirut.
Separately, Aoun met today with the Governor of Lebanon's Central Bank, Riad Salame, who informed him of the outcome of his fresh visit to the US and his participation in the World Bank and International Monetary Fund's meetings.
The President later welcomed Eparch of the Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Jbeil, bishop Michel Aoun.
He also met with a delegation of relatives of abused women, to whom he highlighted the necessity to bridging the legal gap between men and women.
