Baabda: President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, emphasized on Monday that Lebanon is not in danger and all economic indicators are positive.

According to National News Agency - Lebanon, President Aoun stressed the importance of focusing on the south and prioritizing reforms, asserting that reconstruction is a responsibility of the state towards its people.
