Prime Minister Najib Miqati highlighted on Thursday Lebanon’s diversity, saying that it is an “example of the convergence of civilizations.”

He said: “The international community must help Lebanon preserve its diversity.”

He made his remarks during a conference in Turkey on the dialogue of civilizations.

The premier credited the coexistence and cooperation between the Lebanese people for ensuring the persistence of this diversity.

He also invited the gatherers to stage next year’s dialogue of civilization conference in Lebanon “in order for them to witness for themselves the coexistences between the country’s various religions and sects.”
