Minister of Industry George Pushkian stressed Saturday that “the time now is to act and spread positivity to rise from this bitter reality, and not for politics and its conflicts.”

Speaking before congratulatory delegations who visited him at his home in Zahle, the new Minister said that “work will begin towards industrial and productive advancement, and all of us in the industrial sector will join efforts as one hand for construction and development.”

He added: “We will follow up on all files to develop a strategic plan and work to implement it, because the stage is not for political slogans, but rather we need a production plan for the benefit of the citizen.”

Pushkian promised the industrialists to “work together with transparency to reach safety, not only for the industrial sector but for Lebanon as a whole.”
