Lebanese Ministry of Information
Minister of Information, Attorney Dr. Paul Morcos, highlighted the significance of safeguarding Lebanon’s television archive during the ceremony announcing the nomination of the Télé Liban archive for UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register, in the presence of President Michel Aoun.
Morcos said, “Protecting the archive physically, digitizing it, and ensuring its proper use has been our primary goal. Managing Télé Liban on a daily basis over the first five months was a major focus, until the first board of directors was finally appointed since 1999, 26 years ago, by the first term of the Aoun government.”
The Information Minister added, “This marks a qualitative leap in Télé Liban’s broadcast, both in audio and video, despite the remaining challenges, logistical limitations, and numerous obstacles. The channel has returned to prominence and will regain its full shine, as desired by His Excellency the President, thanks to the leadership of the board, the executive management, and the dedicated efforts of its staff.”
