President Michel Aoun held talks Wednesday afternoon with Prime Minister Hassan Diab ahead of a Higher Defense Council meeting.
Aoun has called for the Defense Council meeting to discuss "measures to control cross-border smuggling."
The issue of smuggling has stirred a wave of controversy in the country in recent days.
