The Issues Discussed: Lebanon, Security and the Aqaba Process
The discussions included a meeting dedicated to the Aqaba Process to support the Lebanese armed forces and strengthen the state’s monopoly on arms.

The stated objective: to maintain stability in the Middle East and protect French interests in the region.
