Aoun urges Trump to keep backing Lebanon to 'turn the page on wars'
On the occasion of America's 250th Independence Day, President Joseph Aoun sent a congratulatory telegram to U.S. President Donald Trump, wishing him and the American people "continued success, prosperity, and further progress."
In his telegram, Aoun stated: "There is no doubt that the relationship between Lebanon and the United States of America is ancient and deeply rooted, as old as the human and social principles and values that have united their visions."
"Today, this relationship is being revitalized thanks to your determination and tireless efforts to restore stability and security to the Middle East in general, and to Lebanon in particular," the president said.
"While we appreciate your efforts in this regard, we call upon you to continue your unwavering support for Lebanon's just and righteous causes, and for its institutions, army, and people, so that we may turn the page on wars, tragedies, and suffering, and open a new chapter of hope, peace and stability," Aoun went on to say.
