Minister of Industry, George Poushkian, visited Sunday Maronite Bishop of Zahle Joseph Mouawad, Greek Orthodox Bishop Anthony al-Souri, and Syriac Orthodox Bishop Paul Safar, expressing his well-wishes on the occasion of Christmas.

Greeting the people of Zahle, the Bekaa and all the Lebanese, Poushkian said: “We are so much in need of inner peace in our hearts and throughout Lebanon…Undoubtedly, our country, which is resilient to crises, will rise again and recover and our people will overcome adversity and suffering.”

He added: “My visit to the Metropolitan Bishops today gives me hope for the resurrection of Lebanon, and their contribution to helping society and alleviating its suffering. The birth of Christ is the birth of love, devotion and sacrifice. We hope that we will all rally around the national salvation government, to continue to assume responsibilities and manage the country’s affairs with all seriousness, perseverance and conscientiousness.”
