Agriculture Minister: Support of friendly countries is required to reach recovery stage

NNA – Minister of Agriculture, Abbas Hajj Hassan, considered that "the existing situation is very difficult, but not impossible, and PM Najib Mikati's visit to the French capital, Paris, and his meeting with President Emmanuel Macron is very positive, and the atmosphere also confirms that the French support is renewed".

"The Government of Lebanon and the Ministry of Agriculture need the support of all friendly and brotherly countries, and Arab countries in particular, until we reach a stage of economic and agricultural recovery, which ensures that farmers remain on their lands and alleviates the widespread misery, whether in the suburbs of Beirut or in the remaining country regions,” Hajj Hassan emphasized.

His words came before a delegation of the "Baalbek Media Forum", who visited him at his residence in the town of Shaath on Sunday.
