Prime Minister Saad Hariri toured on Saturday the region of Bekaa, starting his tour by visiting al-Azhar of Bekaa in the town of Majdel Anjar, where he was received by Mufti of Zahle and Bekaa Sheikh Khalil al-Mais, Mufti of Baalbek Sheikh Khaled al-Soleh, dignitaries and students from al-Azhar.
During the meeting with the muftis, Hariri addressed Mufti al-Mais by saying: "We experienced a very difficult phase in this region but the people weren't afraid because God is with them. Your Eminence always says the words of truth and moderation. This is our path at a time when some sides try to drive us towards fanaticism, extremism and the rhetoric that we don't accept."
