Macron invites Aoun to co-chair Paris conference as Haykal meets Berri
President Joseph Aoun on Thursday received an official invitation from his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron to join him in presiding over the Lebanese Army support conference that will be held in Paris on March 5, the Presidency said.
“Your personal participation in this conference will represent a powerful political signal that reflects the firmness of the ties that link France to Lebanon and our common insistence on the stability of your country and the full restoration of its sovereignty,” Macron told Aoun in the invitation letter.
“The conference’s goal is to reaffirm the international community’s political, financial and technical support for these (security) institutions and rallying coordinated international assistance,” the French leader added.
Army Commander General Rodolphe Haykal meanwhile met in Ain el-Tineh with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
