BEIRUT: Prime Minister Tammam Salam praised the health ministry's "revolutionary" food safety campaign Monday, but called for a long-term solution to ensure that the efforts do not fizzle out over time.
“I know that the most notable dimension of agricultural matters is what concerns food and its safety,” Salam said.
“We are today in the midst of the 'Abu Faourian' revolution for food safety," and we have to make sure that all its health standards remain in place to protect the health of citizens, Salam added, referring to Health Minister Wael Abu Faour.
Salam also hailed Agriculture Minister Akram Chehayeb’s performance in the food safety campaign.
Though spearheaded by the health ministry last month, Abu Faour's campaign has also relied on partnerships with other ministries, most notably the agricultural and economy ministries.
Salam's comments came during a news conference at the agricultural ministry.
