French President Emmanuel Macron received Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri on Wednesday evening at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
The meeting, which lasted two hours, focused on the latest regional developments and Hariri’s efforts to restore Lebanon’s Arab relations and mobilize support in the face of the crises it faces, National News Agency reported.
“They also reviewed the efforts of France and its president to gather international support for Lebanon as soon as a government is formed, capable of implementing the reforms necessary to stop the economic collapse and rebuild what has been destroyed in Beirut by the port explosion last August,” NNA added.
In this context, Hariri and Macron discussed the internal Lebanese difficulties hampering the formation of the government.
