Based on all this and because the Bekaa Valley was a race in the position of its industry for a long time, we came today to confirm, as we emphasize in Mount Lebanon, South and Walsh we are careful to support this vital sector and head with all the causes of prosperity. From here and within the framework of our plan that we launched to support the in industry and development, and also launched the previous call for banks to meet their commitments in support of the industry, we repeat today called the sight of industrialists Bakaian and Msamahm. “

In the countryside, the intention was to move away from the capital and to encourage industry in the new areas, for the benefit of rural areas. “
God’s love concluded: “Our promise and promise to industrialists that the title of our battle continues to be the protection of industry and that we are their voice to restore together the stolen position of this vital sector which, as I always emphasize, will be the backbone of Lebanon’s economy, and industry will once again be the productive economic face of Lebanon. “
