2^min

Prime Minister Saad Hariri met on Friday with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.

Following the meeting, Macron stressed that France will continue to stand by Lebanon.

“France will continue support Lebanon and this will be reflected in the economic relations between the two nations,” said Macron during a joint press conference with Hariri.

As for the Lebanese army’s latest offensive against Islamic State militants on Lebanon’s border, Macron hailed the armed forces for “their constant efforts to protect Lebanon and the Lebanese border.”

For his part, Hariri highlighted the issue of the Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

“The issue of refugees is very difficult for Lebanon and it is posing a major burden to the Lebanese economy, security and environment,” he added.

Hariri had arrived to France on Thursday and held meetings with his French counterpart and the ministers of foreign affairs, economy, finance and European affairs.
