On the occasion of International Women’s Day, United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis paid tribute today to the efforts, sacrifices and achievements made by women in different fields in Lebanon and encouraged more inclusion of women in decision-making positions.

I am very grateful and honoured to be received today by His Excellency the Prime Minister.

Good morning everybody,

I am very grateful that His Excellency the President gave me the audience less than 24 hours after my arrival as the new UN Special Coordinator and political representative of the United Nations here in the country.
