Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi held talks on Wednesday night with Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on local issues and developments in the region and their affects on Lebanon, reported the National News Agency on Thursday.
Aoun said after the meeting at Bkirki: “We need to exert all our efforts in order to create an air of understanding that will save Lebanon from negative positions.”
“I represent a large number of Christians and I call on them today to unite to confront the country's crisis,” he remarked.
“Despite the political disputes, we must cooperate in order to tackle fateful issues,” he added.
Christian unity will “inevitably lead to Lebanese unity that will bring together all people regardless of their sects, which in turn will lead to our salvation,” said Aoun.
