NNA – President of the Maronite League, Ambassador Khalil Karam, visited today the Vatican City, where he met withnbsp;the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Archbishop Paul Richard Callagher.
Karam indicated that talksnbsp;focused during bothnbsp;two meetings on the presidential vacuum, the Syrian displacement and its negative repercussions on Lebanon at all levels, supporting Catholic schools, particularlynbsp;the partiallynbsp;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.quot;
quot;Both meetings were of great importance, and the Holy See follows the situation in Lebanon day by day,quot; he said, adding that the Vatican isnbsp;familiar with Lebanon#39;snbsp;details and conducts its contacts away from the limelight with the international, regional and internal powers directly concerned with the Lebanesenbsp;situation, especially the presidential elections.
quot;I have sensed the seriousness of officials in the Vatican City in seeking to resolve the crises afflicting our homeland,quot; Karam affirmed.
He hoped thatnbsp;efforts will be doubled to end the presidential vacuum and address the file of the displaced.
