Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met on Thursday with Egypt’s Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb in Cairo, where they discussed developments in Lebanon and the wider region.

Salam emphasized that Lebanon, with its diverse Muslim and Christian fabric, needs Al-Azhar’s support in promoting coexistence, tolerance, and countering divisive rhetoric.

He extended an invitation to the Grand Imam to visit Lebanon before the end of the year, describing such a visit as a unifying message to all Lebanese and a reflection of Al-Azhar’s historic role in fostering dialogue and shared living.

For his part, Sheikh El-Tayeb welcomed the invitation and suggested that his upcoming visit to Beirut coincide with an Islamic conference aimed at reinforcing the principles of human fraternity and citizenship.

He reaffirmed Al-Azhar’s global mission to combat extremism and promote moderation, tolerance, and peace.
