Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun congratulated on Thursday Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on his recent appointment as cardinal.
“We assure the people that stability in Lebanon will not be harmed,” he said after holding talks with the patriarch at Bkirki on the current political crisis in the country.
In addition, the MP revealed that he reached a “common view” with al-Rahi on how to tackle the crisis.
Pope Benedict XVI appointed al-Rahi as a new cardinal at the Church in October and the ceremony marking his promotion, and five others, will take place on November 24.
