President Aoun meets French foreign minister, lauds France’s support for Lebanon

President Joseph Aoun received French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, praising the role played by France in supporting Lebanon.

Aoun said the proposed negotiation initiative remains on the table, but ongoing military escalation is hindering its launch.

Meanwhile, Barrot expressed France’s readiness to work toward ending the military escalation, building on what he described as the “courageous” negotiation initiative announced by Aoun.
