Prime Minister Najib Miqati stressed on Lebanon’s right to liberate its occupied territories as he vows his country’s commitment to respect international resolutions, hoping that the United Nations will be more just in dealing with the international affairs.

During a conference on “Reform and Transition to Democracy” in Beirut Sunday, Miqati assured that the Zionist entity was the main causes for instability in the region.

“Israel is violating our sovereignty by land, sea and air. It is occupying our lands, while Lebanon is going on with the implementation of the (UN Security Council) Resolution 1701).
In this context, Miqati stated that Lebanon “has the right to liberate its occupied territory through all possible means”.

He also hoped that “the United Nations will be more just in issuing resolutions and implementing them”.

“Democracy has become the Arab people’s primary main choice of rule,” he continued.
“Democracy cannot be established without the rise of a strong state, development of the economy, and rejection of extremism and terrorism,” said the premier.

“The Lebanese government has set as a priority administrative reform and the development of the democratic system through devising a new electoral law that properly represents all Lebanese factions”, added Miqati.
“God willing, Lebanon will remain an example of democracy, freedom, openness, moderation, and mutual coexistence between its religions,” he stressed.

Addressing the Arab revolutions, he remarked: “It is time to launch an economic plan that would break boundaries between Arab countries.”
