In remarks he made at the launching of the National Campaign to revive the Lebanese economy, in the presidential palace, he said: “Lebanon is living accumulating crises which can be tackled when identified correctly.”

“I promised to build the Lebanese economy, fight corruption and address the situation of the displaced," he stressed.
