Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati stressed that the Taif Agreement was of paramount importance as it was a cornerstone for ending the civil war in Lebanon nearly 30 years ago.

“Today is very important, and the conference held confirms once again that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not leave Lebanon,” Mikati said during the National Conference held on 33rd anniversary of the Taif at UNESCO.

Mikati pointed out that the big attendance confirmed the contents of the Taif Agreement, which was the best agreement for Lebanon.

“The government shall carry out its duties. The Constitution and laws stipulate the conduct of business, and we will do it with honesty, responsibility and a sense of patriotism. I do not think that any minister will fail in this national role,” he emphasized.
