Aoun: Industry is a pillar of Lebanon's economy, urges reforms to strengthen sector
President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, reaffirmed Lebanon's identity as an industrial nation and stressed that the sector remains a vital pillar of the country's economy. Aoun further voiced full support for Lebanese manufacturers, describing them as 'makers of hope for a promising economic future,' and pledged governmental action to protect local industry from smuggling and tax burdens. The President's comments came during a meeting at Baabda Palace with a delegation from the Association of Lebanese Industrialists, led by its president Salim Zeeni, who presented a detailed overview of the sector's current challenges. Zeeni emphasized that Lebanon's industrial output stands at $12 billion annually, nearly one-third of the national GDP, and employs some 220,000 workers. He called for practical reforms, including a special electricity tariff for factories, streamlined customs procedures, and legislative incentives to protect domestic production. President Aoun was also briefed by Minister of Youth and Sports Nora Bayrakdarian on upcoming summer sports festivals and the development of a national sports strategy, set to be launched at a September conference under his patronage. The President later met with MP Adib Abdel Massih to discuss regional developments, anti-corruption efforts, and the needs of the North, particularly the Koura region. He also held talks with former MP Hadi Hobeich, focusing on electoral reform, the issue of arms outside state authority, and infrastructure needs in Akkar. Additionally, a delegation from the Christian Coordination Council—including Dr. Fouad Abou Nader, attorney Naoum Farah, Dr. Naji Hajar, and Jean Chamoun—outlined the council's development, agricultural, and healthcare initiatives aimed at strengthening local communities and preserving national unity. President Aoun also received Lebanon's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Rami Mortada, who briefed him on diplomatic developments and bilateral relations.
