Aoun meets Leaders Club delegation, stresses need for internal unity

President of the Republic Joseph Aoun stressed the need to preserve internal cohesion amid regional and international developments.

President Aoun emphasized that "no one can claim to uphold sovereignty and profess love for their country while criticizing the army and security forces, which are working to maintain security and stability and extend state authority, which includes ensuring that weapons are exclusively in the hands of the state, establishing national security, and addressing the economic and social needs of our people in the South."

President Aoun made these remarks during a meeting this morning at Baabda Palace with a delegation from the "Leaders Club" initiative, which presented him with two proposals aimed at addressing hour issues.

President Aoun also stressed before the delegation that "the private sector is the backbone of the national economy."  

Speaking on behalf of the delegation at the begining of the meeting, Ramzi Hafez noted that the initiative "was established in 2018 by Lebanon Opportunities magazine and aims to facilitate the exchange of information and expertise among its members and engage with decision-making bodies. It comprises more than 85 major institutions, all of which are leading and highly successful organizations in the industrial, commercial, agricultural, construction, financial, insurance, technological, logistics, accounting, and other service sectors."

On behalf of the delegation, Hafez presented the President with two practical studies aimed at addressing current hour issues.

The first, titled "Relaunch and Revival," outlines an alternative plan for Lebanon’s economic recovery.

The second, titled "Economic Reconstruction," was developed in response to Article 10 of the Tripartite Framework and focuses on physical and economic reconstruction, as well as achieving stability and regional integration.
