President Michel Aoun met Thursday with a delegation of the Lebanese Industrialists Association at Baabda presidential palace, where he said that "the promotion of the national economy will be the priority of the new government.”
He also stressed the need to respect justice in any action taken to protect the environment.
President Aoun then welcomed Lebanese champion Ray Bassil who holds several titles in the shooting sport from her participation in tournaments in the Middle East and the world.
Aoun praised "the achievements made by Bassil who held high her country's name," underscoring "the role of sport in achieving multi-cultural rapprochement and in establishing peace over wars and fighting."
