Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has called President Joseph Aoun and discussed with him the state's monopoly on arms, MTV said.
The call took place on Thursday and was "long" and "positive", with relations getting calmer between Geagea and Aoun, according to the Lebanese TV network.
In a statement published Friday, Geagea said he told Aoun that his first year in office marked the start of a path toward restoring an actual and capable state, lauding his latest remarks in which he stressed that only the state should have the right to have arms and to take war and peace decisions.
Geagea also discussed with Aoun the need to keep Lebanon out from regional conflicts, and the expats' right to vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
