January 26, 2020

France has assured its commitment to support Lebanon to preserve its unity and stability.

The assurance was given by French President Emmanuel Macron during a phone call to Lebanese President Michel Aoun.

He also expressed hope that the new cabinet will implement the reforms promised during the CEDRE Conference.

The CEDRE is an international conference which pledged to release 11 billion US dollars in loans and donations for Lebanon on condition that the country makes serious reforms.

Lebanon President Aoun said that he is working on solving different issues in a way to restore economic prosperity.

Lebanon has recently formed a new cabinet headed by Hassan Diab amid nationwide protests calling for the overhaul of the current political system and the implementation of reforms.
