Aoun: No one in Lebanon wants to return to war
President Joseph Aoun reiterated Tuesday that “any controversial issue can be resolved through dialogue” and that “no one in Lebanon wants to return to war.”
“I’m optimistic, in the presence of determination and will,” Aoun added, in a meeting in Baabda with the President of the UAE’s Federal National Council Saqr Ghobash.
“The Lebanese-Emirati relations are deep-rooted and I’m looking forward to my visit to Abu Dhabi to meet with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed and open a new chapter in the ties between the two countries,” the president said.
“We have major challenges before us, topped by reconstruction with support from the brotherly countries,” Aoun added.
Ghobash for his part emphasized UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed’s keenness on Lebanon’s unity and on “building a national state that gathers all components of the Lebanese people,” as well as on “enhancing relations between the two countries.”
