Prime Minister Nawaf Salam announced Tuesday that “the time has come to build the state,” describing it as his government’s “top mission.”
“The pillars of my government’s vision are regaining sovereignty and guaranteeing security and stability across Lebanon,” Salam said at a reconstruction conference.
“We are working on regaining control over all of Lebanon’s entry and exit points, especially the Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut, and we will work on opening the Qlayaat airport,” Salam added.
“We have removed arms from more than 500 depots in the South, boosted security at Beirut’s airport, and we will work with the diplomatic channels so that Israel halts its attacks on Lebanon and withdraws from the five points,” the prime minister went on to say.
He also said that his government is working with the international community to “secure a safe return by the Syrian refugees” to their country, and that it will devise a “fair law for achieving justice for bank depositors.”
