Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati affirmed on Saturday that "Lebanon, which was and will remain part of the Arab world, is experiencing an unprecedented crisis at all levels, and our government is trying to solve it with all available capabilities, relying on the support of its Arab brothers and friends in the world. We are waiting for our Arab brothers to understand our reality well, and to stand by us to spare Lebanon the dangers and help us bear the burdens that have exceeded our capabilities.”

He stressed that Lebanon adopts a policy of disassociation from any Arab dispute, and insists on its implementation, and the loser in every dispute or conflict is the Arab world, which has always been seeking unity.

As for the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, he stressed that the region suffers from stifling crises that have reflected on its reality, especially on the levels of education and the decline of scientific research in universities and research centers. 

Aboul Gheit stressed that redressing the delay requires increasing the budget for scientific research, giving the young generation an opportunity, and preparing it to be able to face the challenges of the current century, allowing it to be fully equal and compete with other societies.

He stressed that "the city of Beirut, a beacon of knowledge, spares no effort to support and support every activity that enriches joint Arab action in all its fields."

Mikati's speech came in the context of a ceremony honoring the winners of the "Arab Prize for the Best Doctoral Thesis in Legal and Judicial Sciences in the Arab World", in the presence of Aboul Gheit today at the Grand Serail.
