President of the Council of Ministers Saad Hariri considered that our problem in the country is our political differences, but this does not mean that we cannot overcome them and develop the country.
Hariri stressed that sustainable development must be adopted in all ministries and state sectors to develop ourselves and the country.
Hariri’s words came during his patronage this afternoon at the Grand Serail the launching of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He said : “I want to talk about the goals of the SDGs from a different angle. First, why do we want to achieve these goals? What are they? And why are we exerting all this effort and working on them? What is Lebanon’s interest in implementing these goals? We are a small country, and you know all its problems and misfortunes. But what we have today applies to all the countries of the world.
What is required from us today as a government and as Lebanese is to develop ourselves and change some old laws to get the country out of this deteriorating economic situation.
The idea of the SDGs started in the United Nations. What applies to Lebanon applies to many countries in the world, even those with tremendous potential and with GDPs in trillions of dollars have their own problems in education, water and all the seventeen points of the GDPs.
