France Opens 400 Million Euro Credit Line for Lebanon
Lebanon received increased military support from the international community at the Rome II Conference on Thursday, with France opening a 400 million euro ($492 million) line of credit to the country's army.
Prime Minister Saad Hariri said further discussion would be needed to clarify the amounts pledged by each of the 40 countries at the conference, which will be followed by two further meetings in Paris and Brussels.
France announced earlier in the month that it would provide 14 million euros to Lebanon's army, mostly in the form of anti-tank equipment.
