Caretaker Minister of Agriculture, Abbas Hajj Hassan, highlighted the dire need for dialogue at this critical stage in the country, noting that the election of a president of the republic would be the national gateway for this dialogue.
His words came in his delivered address during a book signing ceremony organized by the “Baalbek Cultural Council” in its center in Baalbek.
“We believe that we are in the era of the dialogue of civilizations, which depends on the logic of understanding and the logic of reason,” he said.
“In politics, we must approach matters from the beautiful logic of culture, and when we talk about the dialogue of civilizations and write volumes and rant about the dialogue of civilizations, and that we are advocates of such dialogue, we must commit ourselves internally to dialogue away from arrogance at the table, until we are able to emulate people’s torments,” Hajj Hassan added.
“Today, there is no electricity in the country, and we are facing a real complex crisis, so we must all call for a real dialogue, and start the dialogue from its national gateway until we reach every detail,” he asserted.
“I firmly believe that now is the real moment when all the political parties in the country can be worthy of this homeland, and that they will be able, God willing, to save it in the near future, starting with the election of a President of the Republic, up to an authentic government, and then working to resolve all social and economic dossier and more…,” Hajj Hassan affirmed.
