Le Drian also discussed Mechanism 'reinforcement', disarmament plan in Lebanon

French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian addressed in his visit to Lebanon "the reinforcement" of the committee monitoring the year-long ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which France is a part of, French foreign ministry spokesperson Pascal Confavreux said.

The main aim of the visit was to discuss the details of a conference that France will host in March to raise funds for the Lebanese army.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Wednesday met Le Drian, Saudi envoy Yazid bin Farhan and ambassadors including from the U.S., Egypt and Qatar, discussing preparations for the conference.

Le Drian also discussed "the implementation of the Lebanese Armed Forces' plan" tackling "the disarmament of Hezbollah", the spokesman said.
