If I'm still walking, I am not dead. So I have to still walk and run towards the benefit of Lebanon.

I am Lebanese, and I know the interests of my country.

I am keen to maintain very good relations and develop the relationship with the United States.

I am not keen just for the position; I'm keen to help and to serve. If I can really avoid any bad things on my country, I will not hesitate one second.

My agenda is not to reassure anybody outside Lebanon.

The most important, what I believe myself to do, is what is the interest of Lebanon, what is the interest of my country and my nation? And I'm going to do it fully.
