Information Minister Jamal Jarrah on Friday welcomed in his office at the Ministry a delegation of the Press Syndicate, led by its Dean Auni Al-Kaaki.
Talks reportedly touched on the general situation in the country, most notably at the media level.
On emerging, Dean Al Kaaki said they discussed with the Minister an array of matters pertaining to the media sector, expressing dismay about certain media outlets disseminating false news or rumors that harm the Lebanese economy and currency stability.
On the other hand, Al-Kaaki deplored offenses targeting the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House, saying the three presidents represent the symbol of our country and "whoever offends them, is in fact offending the country's symbols."
Al Kaaki said the Minister highlighted the crucial role played by the press in shedding light on the positive aspects of the country, rather than the negative ones.
Al Kaaki stressed that the Lebanese economy and monetary situation is solid, indicating that rumors only lead to the disruption of the state's path.
