Baabda Palace witnessed a series of ministerial meetings that focused on administrative and media files, most notably the results of Lebanese participation in foreign forums, and the path of the project “Restructuring State Administrations and Institutions until 2030” in preparation for presenting it to the Council of Ministers.
In this context, the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, received the Minister of Information, Lawyer Paul Morcos, where the results of his participation in the Seventh Media Summit in China and his official visit to the State of Qatar were reviewed, in addition to discussing the general conditions and current developments in the country.
In a separate meeting, President Aoun received the Minister of State for Administrative Development Affairs, Dr. Fadi Makki, who briefed the President of the Republic on the completion of the directive plan for the project to reconfigure departments and institutions until 2030, about a year after it was launched from Baabda Palace.
Makki explained that he reviewed with the President of the Republic the most prominent recommendations expected to be presented to the Council of Ministers at its next session, in preparation for moving the project to the stage of official government proposals. He pointed out that the project was launched by listening to the opinions of citizens and public administrations, with the consultations resulting in recommendations aimed at reorganizing state administrations, developing their human capabilities, and improving the quality of public services.
In a notable development, Makki announced the preparation of the “Citizen’s Charter” based on the aspirations of citizens during the consultation phase, indicating that it clearly defines the rights of individuals in dealing with the public administration, in addition to the administrations’ obligations towards them, stressing the readiness of the charter to be presented in parallel with the directive plan and recommendations before the government.
These meetings fall within the President of the Republic’s keenness to follow up on vital government files, especially those related to reforming and developing the performance of state institutions, in addition to keeping up with the results of official movements and visits to Lebanon on the external level.
