Miqati: Lebanon Will Not Meddle in Affairs of Any Arab State

Prime Minister Najib Miqati stressed on Thursday that Lebanon is capable of overcoming the difficult phase the region is going through as it did in the past in overcoming several crises that affected its economic and social sectors.

He said during the opening of the Arab Investment Conference for Banking, Industry, Tourism and Real Estate held in Beirut: “We are keen on refraining from meddling in the affairs of any Arab country.”

“The dialogue and political, economic, and social reform we are adopting in our constitutional institutions is the best example of this,” he added.

“We are working on placing a comprehensive economic and developmental plan aimed at encouraging Arab and foreign investment,” continued the premier.

“Cabinet recently approved an electricity project according to the norms and we succeeded in overcoming all political obstacles that impeded it,” Miqati stressed.

“We hope that this plan would pave the way for several other projects in various other fields,” he hoped.
