The Prime Minister of Lebanon, Nawaf Salam, on supporting the Lebanese industry, at the launch of the second national industry exhibition 2026: "Supporting the industry is a national interest, and the country must ensure fair competition. There can be no lasting stability without lasting security." "We will not give in to the obstacles facing us. An industrialist who respects the law and pays what he deserves cannot be expected to compete with smuggled goods. Our government has tightened customs enforcement and border control." "We will introduce a policy that encourages the production of products that we currently import. Industrial exports approaching 3 billion dollars a year prove that Lebanese products can compete abroad, and the success of the export deserves recognition."
