Former President Amine Gemayel called President General Joseph Aoun to congratulate him on his election as President of the Republic.

He described the election, achieved with near-unanimous consensus at this pivotal moment, as an extraordinary opportunity that aligns with the aspirations of the Lebanese people for a modern, stable state.

Gemayel emphasized that this occasion is a significant chance to revive Lebanon, rescue it, and steer it toward effective governance and the regular functioning of constitutional institutions.

He also noted that the language of the inaugural address underscores the elected president’s determination to confront challenges and build a state rooted in citizenship, sovereignty, and national unity.

Gemayel highlighted that the speech—akin to a comprehensive action plan and reflective of broad public opinion—reinforces hope for a promising future for Lebanon. A future that would end the dark chapter of recent years, open vast opportunities for the nation’s progress, reaffirm its Arab identity and international relations and align with the ambitions and potential of Lebanese youth.
