The death of former Prime Minister Salim Hoss has been announced.
The following statement was issued by Prime Minister Najib Mikati:
"With great sadness and sorrow, I announce to the Lebanese people the passing of former Prime Minister Salim Hoss, who departed during the most challenging and delicate time when Lebanon needs his conscience, national and Arab sensibilities, wisdom, and sound management of public affairs. Writing about former Prime Minister Salim Hoss is both a difficult and an easy task. Difficult because no words can truly do justice to him, and easy because he was a sea of generosity in his professional life. He was a prominent economist and a paragon of expertise, ethics, and knowledge, placing the supreme interest and the welfare of the citizen above all else. He was distinguished by his selflessness, objectivity, and constitutional integrity. Former Prime Minister Hoss, who achieved the highest levels of knowledge and held the highest positions through his own efforts, was a successful Prime Minister in Lebanon. After years of service and sacrifice, he deserves the title of "Conscience of Lebanon" and will forever remain in the hearts of the Lebanese people. May he rest in his vast paradise."
