Beirut: Beirut Port Chairman and Director General Omar Itani affirmed the port’s commitment to actively supporting national cultural initiatives and preserving Lebanon’s historical heritage.

According to National News Agency – Lebanon, Itani noted that he had previously discussed this initiative during his recent meeting with Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, in the presence of concerned parties.

The meeting highlighted the goals of the initiative and mechanisms for cooperation to prepare for a scientific conference focused on showcasing the shared historical heritage, especially since Beirut Port holds a national archive documenting Lebanon’s civilizational history since the Phoenician era.

Itani reaffirmed Beirut Port’s readiness to actively contribute to the success of the conference, describing it as a cultural initiative with national dimensions that reflects awareness of the dangers surrounding Lebanon, the ‘nation of message.’
