    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES THE MINISTER OF CULTURE


    His Holiness Aram I received the Minister of Culture of Lebanon, Dr. Tareq
    Mitri, in his office in Antelias on May 10.

    The Catholicos and the minister discussed over an hour the challenges
    Lebanon faces currently specially in the political, social, cultural and
    educational fields. His Holiness stressed the importance of giving priority
    to cultural values and plans.

    "Lebanon is a country of culture and as such had played an important role in
    the Arab world in addition to being a bridge between the Christian and
    Islamic cultures of the West and the East. This unique cultural role of
    Lebanon should be reestablished," His Holiness said.

    Sharing the Pontiff's concern and proposal, the minister assured that he has
    already started working in this direction in various regions in Lebanon.

    Minister Mitri is closely acquainted with His Holiness as he has been the
    head of the Christian-Muslim Dialogue Department of the World Council of
    Churches for the last ten years.
