President of the National Dialogue Party, MP Fouad Makhzoumi, visited Metropolitan Elias Audi, Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Beirut and its Dependencies, at the Metropolitan’s residence. He was accompanied by the Head of the National Dialogue Party’s Political Bureau and former Ambassador, Dr. Bassam Al-Naamani; the Party’s Deputy Secretary-General, Dr. Duraid Oweidat; the Party’s Administrative Director, Mr. Talal Al-Qaisi; and the Director General of the Makhzoumi Foundation, Samer Al-Safah. They discussed the general situation in Lebanon and the region.

Following the meeting, Makhzoumi said the visit was intended to congratulate His Eminence on the 45th anniversary of his episcopal enthronement. He praised his role as a spiritual authority and commended his patriotic positions, which encourage the building of both the nation and its people.

Makhzoumi and Metropolitan Audi discussed the latest developments, including the election of the President of the Republic and the formation of the government. Makhzoumi wished the government success, particularly given its pledges to implement the reforms required at both the domestic and international levels and to enforce international resolutions, foremost among them UN Security Council Resolution 1701 in all its provisions, with the aim of restoring Lebanon to its regional fold.

Makhzoumi described the meeting as positive and expressed his best wishes for Lebanon and the Lebanese people.
