The cardinal was escorted from his official residence in Bkerki to the palace by an escort of the Republican Guard and received with full official honors at the palace, where he was the president’s guest for lunch.
The two men’s last meeting goes back to 2006 when Lahoud attended an easter service in Bkerki and held a meeting with the patriarch. Since then no meeting had taken place.
After the meeting Patriarch Sfeir said the meeting was “very good” and that it covered various current issues on the Lebanese scene. The meeting was an occasion to discuss the upcoming Lebanese presidential election.
