Lebanese President Michel Aoun congratulated U.S. President Joe Biden on his assumption of presidential responsibilities in the United States.
The National News Agency reported today that President Aoun sent a cable to President Biden upon taking office, wishing him success and good luck, especially in light of the delicate circumstances facing countries worldwide on various fronts. The Lebanese president expressed his eagerness to work with the U.S. president in a framework of mutual understanding and respect, emphasizing the commitment to the values of truth, integrity, justice, freedom, and democracy that the friendly peoples of Lebanon and America share, which President Biden frequently referenced after his inauguration.
Joe Biden took the oath of office yesterday as the new president of the United States at the Capitol in Washington, an event that was not attended by his predecessor, Donald Trump, marked by exceptional security and health measures. The 46th president called for "unity," warning of challenges stemming from various crises, and celebrated the day as an "event of hope" and a "triumph for democracy."
