His Highness the President President Joseph Aoun received a cable from Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan congratulating him on winning the presidency and taking the constitutional oath of office as the Republic of Lebanon’s president.
His Majesty The Vice President, Prime Minister, and ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and His Highness President Joseph Aoun received similar congratulations from Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court.
In an effort to pull the war-torn nation out of its financial catastrophe, Lebanese lawmakers earlier in the day elected army chief Joseph Aoun as president, filling a more than two-year void.
Wearing a dark suit and blue tie instead of his typical military uniform, Aoun, who turns 61 on Friday, appeared in parliament to take the oath of office to widespread cheers.
“A new chapter in Lebanon’s history begins today,” he said the assembly. In exchange for a much-needed financial bailout, international creditors have demanded reforms, and Aoun must oversee a ceasefire in south Lebanon and appoint a prime minister who can carry them out.
