Prime Minister Nawaf Salam responded to Hezbollah’s letter to the three presidents, noting that “the Lebanese government has regained the authority to decide on war and peace” and adding, “no one else has a say in the matter.”
During the opening of the “Lebanon Technology and Artificial Intelligence Summit,” he emphasized the “necessity of ensuring the monopoly on arms rests solely with the state to secure stability and safety and to stop hostile acts against Lebanon.”
Salam said, “I am proud of this government; it is a new type, and I call it the ‘Government of National Competence.’” He continued, “We have restored relations with Arab countries, and we will witness significant Arab participation in the ‘Beirut 1’ conference; Lebanon has returned to the Arab fold.”
He added, “We are not competing with Syria, our stability is linked to theirs, we have turned a page on the past with them, and we aim to build new relations based on mutual respect.”
Salam also noted that “Lebanon needs investments to kickstart the economic wheel, which requires funds,” adding, “we are working on a set of reform laws, starting with the banking sector,” and pointing out that “corruption will shrink and citizens’ work will be facilitated as we introduce technology and artificial intelligence.”
He continued, “We want a healthy banking system to be able to kickstart the economic wheel, which requires recapitalizing banks, restructuring some of them, and we have made progress with two draft laws for financial reform.”
