“I am seeking to prevent anything that may cause chaos and spread the problems of others to our country,” declared Miqati.
“I assure you that we are living in a period of relative stability due to the policy that we have adopted and the Lebanese people's insistence to steer clear from dangers against our country,” he explained.
“The international community understands that Lebanon must be kept away from all that is taking place around it,” noted the premier.
“I am reassured because Lebanon is protected by God, its residents, and expatriates,” he stated.
