President of the Maronite League, Ambassador Khalil Karam, visited today the Vatican City, where he met with the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Archbishop Paul Richard Callagher.
Karam indicated that talks focused during both two meetings on the presidential vacuum, the Syrian displacement and its negative repercussions on Lebanon at all levels, supporting Catholic schools, particularly the partially free ones and those located in remote areas to maintain their ability to persist, and providing decent educational services for students, especially those who come from poor and low-income families."
"Both meetings were of great importance, and the Holy See follows the situation in Lebanon day by day," he said, adding that the Vatican is familiar with Lebanon's details and conducts its contacts away from the limelight with the international, regional and internal powers directly concerned with the Lebanese situation, especially the presidential elections.
"I have sensed the seriousness of officials in the Vatican City in seeking to resolve the crises afflicting our homeland," Karam affirmed.
He hoped that efforts will be doubled to end the presidential vacuum and address the file of the displaced.
