Ambassador Hamada Maawad hosted a dinner in honor of President Aoun and the accompanying Lebanese delegation
It was attended by a number of members of Congress and officials in the U.S. administration.
- President of the Republic: Lebanon cannot be safe or united except when it is one state with one army that protects all Lebanese without discrimination.
- President Aoun: The Lebanese model deserves protection not for Lebanon alone but for the region and because it is based on the same foundation upon which your nation was built.
- President of the Republic: Hezbollah’s weapons can be disarmed if we are honest about what it truly requires, namely the removal of the occupation and the army taking full control and a state-managed reconstruction program alone.
- Ambassador Hamada Maawad to President Aoun: Your visit reflects our commitment to strengthening the historic relations between the two countries and working to achieve the aspirations of the Lebanese people for sovereignty, territorial unity, security, prosperity, and peace.
