France informed on Thursday Prime Minister Tammam Salam that it will form a parliamentary committee aimed at following up on Lebanon's needs.

He made his remarks during his ongoing visit to France that he kicked off on Wednesday.
The premier had declared at the start of his visit that the government is in “great need” of international aid to help it in supporting the burden of nearly 1.5 million Syrian refugees.
