President Michel Aoun has stressed that the Lebanese are always capable of rising after setbacks.
"History has shown that we are always able to rise after regression," the president said Tuesday.
"Our country may be going through a difficult time, but this is also the case in many other countries," he indicated.
Lebanon “enjoys security stability,” Aoun said.
Aoun made these remarks during his meeting at Baabda presidential palace with a delegation from the Maronite Diaspora Foundation.
Meanwhile, Lebanese army commander General Joseph Aoun said Tuesday that the military was carrying out its role in protecting the country and maintaining security on the border despite challenges.
The general praised the role of the army in the Fajr al-Joroud offensive against ISIS militants on the Lebanese-Syrian border in August 2017.
His remarks came during the inauguration of the Lebanese army square and martyrs of terrorism road in northeastern Lebanon’s border town of al-Qaa.
