Qahwaji in France to Boost Military Cooperation Between 2 Countries

Army chief Gen. Jean Qahwaji traveled to Paris on Wednesday to appeal for military aid and discuss ways to improve cooperation between the two countries.

Qahwaji's official visit at the invitation of chief of staff Guillaud Edouard will include talks with top French military officials on measures to provide aid to the Lebanese army.

The talks will also focus on ways to consolidate relations between the two armies in the fields of training and logistics.

Qahwaji last visited France at the head of a military delegation in 2011.

The army chief traveled to Britain in September to discuss ways to boost military cooperation between the two countries.
