President Michel Aoun met Friday with the UN Special coordinator for Lebanon Sigrid Kaag, a few days before Aoun’s departure to New York heading a Lebanese delegation to the meetings of the UN General Assembly.
Kaag delivered the UN Secretary General’s congratulations to Aoun over the success of the military operation implemented by the Lebanese army in the mountainous regions along the eastern border of Lebanon.
In this regard, Aoun noted that the meeting he is set to hold with UNSG Guterres will be an opportunity to discuss several issues, including the request to turn Lebanon into an international center for dialogue between civilizations and religions as well as the need to cooperate with international organizations regarding the assistance provided for the Syrian refugees, which fail to be coordinated with the Lebanese government, but sent directly to the refugees.
