BEIRUT, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- President of Central African Republic (CAR) Faustin-Archange Touadera said on Thursday that his country should learn from Lebanon to get through hard times.
Touadera made the remarks after his talks with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in the country's capital Beirut.
"The purpose of our visit as you already know is to share your experience. We know that Lebanon has been through hard times but you have managed to get through it. We also are in the process of getting through the hard time," he said.
The Central African president also expressed gratitude for Lebanon's hospitality toward his delegation to the Middle Eastern country.
For his part, Berri said the discussion was clear and frank by focusing on bilateral ties between the two countries.
Later in the day, Touadera held talks with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri at the Grand Serail.
Their closed-door meeting focused on the latest developments in Lebanon and the region as well as the bilateral relations between the two countries, according to a release by the Prime Minister's media office.
On Wednesday, Touadera arrived in Lebanon and met with Lebanese President Michel Aoun at Baabda Presidential Palace.
