16-7-2018
The president of the Free Patriotic Movement, foreign minister in the caretaker government, Jibran Bassil, said that all roads between his country and Syria, Iraq and Jordan will reopen and Lebanon will breathe again through these land arteries, stressing that political life between Syria and Lebanon will be restored as well. Bassil was speaking on July 13 where he represented President Michel Aoun during the Lebanese Arak Day and International Day of Tasting organized by the ministry of agriculture, in cooperation with the municipality of Zahle-Maalaqa-Taanayel and the Lebanese National Energy Association. During the event held at the Zahle Municipal Park, Bassil pointed out that the interest in Lebanese arak does not take much toil compared to the marketing of domestic wine, as the latter is an accomplished Lebanese product while arak is a heritage commodity of Lebanon produced to resonate its authentic qualities. The foreign ministry through the Directorate of Economic Affairs and through diplomatic missions and embassies, seeks to market agri food goods, specifically the traditional mooneh items in foreign outlets, Bassil maintained, disclosing that a key task of the new economic attaches is promoting made-in-Lebanon products in international markets. He stated that he will charge the Lebanese missions abroad to campaign for the national arak in order to increase the size of production, concluding by saying that the development of agriculture is requisite for Lebanon’s persistence.
