Salameh represents Aoun in offering condolences on death of Norway’s king
Culture Minister Ghassan Salameh, representing President Joseph Aoun, offered condolences on the death of Norway’s King Harald V at the residence of Norwegian Ambassador to Lebanon Hilde Haraldstad.
Salameh signed the book of condolences on behalf of the president and the Lebanese people.
In his message, Aoun expressed deep sorrow over the king’s death and extended his sincerest condolences and sympathy to the Norwegian royal family and people.
He said King Harald had devoted his long reign to promoting openness and diversity and to strengthening the values that unite society rather than divide it.
In times of hardship, as in periods of major transformation, he was a voice for unity and openness and remained close to his people, Aoun wrote.
Norway today loses a king who was loved by his people, while the world loses a distinguished example of dedication to public service and commitment to human values.
