Premier-designate Saad Hariri held on to equal shares of power and stressed that Christian-Muslim coexistence was Lebanon's true message."We want Lebanon to remain a place for inter-religious union and dialogue and we want Christians and Muslims in this country to maintain equal shares regardless of numbers of demographics," Hariri said during an Iftar in Qoreitem on Wednesday.
Hariri said he was working on forming a national unity government that would include all political parties "so as to counter Israeli threats and tackle economic and social challenges."
The PM-designate told religious figures during the Iftar that promoting the tourism sector would be one of his cabinet's top priorities.
"I also wish to promote religious tourism, especially pilgrimage to Christian vestiges such as the Notre Dame Cathedral in Harissa and the southern town of Qana," he said.
