Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati reiterated on Friday that Lebanon is paying a “huge price” for the conflicts surrounding it, stressing that safeguarding Lebanon is a national interest and a necessity to the Arab world.
“The delicate stage that we are passing through requires us to act wisely,” Miqati said during the 2013 Annual Arab Banking Conference, urging all parties not to meddle in the local affairs of any Arab country.
“We will have to suffer from any negative repercussion while we are keen to avoid allowing the turmoil of other countries to spill over to our land,” the caretaker PM said before the attendees.
