Written by Najib

 

Prime Minister Tammam Salam said on Wednesday that France will sign over the weekend the final agreement to equip the Lebanese army with the weapons and ammunition it has ordered, as he lamented the “insufficient” international support for Lebanon.

Salam spoke upon his arrival to Paris on a four-day official visit during which he will discuss with French officials political and security issues.

The PM is scheduled to meet with French President Francois Hollande, Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
