President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, on Friday welcomed at Baabda Palace the Minister of Industry, George Boujikian, who briefed him on the outcome of talks that he had held in Iraq, as well as on the Iraqi people’s relentless support to Lebanon and their willingness to cooperate.

“We have set a starting point for this cooperation, based on integrated manufacturing industries; we’ve also agreed on exchange of expertise,” Boujikian added.
