Prime Minister Nawaf Salam held talks Wednesday in Egypt's New Alamein City with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in the presence of Culture Minister Ghassan Salameh and Energy Minister Joe Saddi.

During the meeting, Salam explained the government's priorities for the next phase, both in terms of ongoing economic reforms and completing the process of “extending state authority over all its territory,” adding that Lebanon looks forward to strengthening cooperation and integration with all Arab countries.
