Le Drian to visit Beirut to prepare for reconstruction and army aid conferences

Tasked by French President Emmanuel Macron, French special envoy to Lebanon Jean-Yves Le Drian will visit Beirut in the next few days to prepare for a Lebanon reconstruction conference and another for assisting the Lebanese Army, the French ambassador said.

Le Drian will also discuss the latest developments with the country’s leaders, French Ambassador to Lebanon Herve Magro told President Joseph Aoun in a meeting on Monday, the Lebanese Presidency said.

The move will come after the Lebanese government took a historic decision to disarm Hezbollah and all armed groups by the end of the year.
