President Michel Aoun met Monday at Baabda Palace with Director General for Political Affairs at the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Richard Moore, with whom he discussed the current general situation, in addition to the bilateral relations and the reverberations caused by the massive presence of Syrian displaced in Lebanon.
During the meeting, Aoun commended the Lebanese-British ties and cooperation in various fields, especially the UK support for the Lebanese army and its land border regiments.
The President maintained that the signature of a Lebanese-British partnership agreement "was the last diplomatic accomplishment made before the resignation of the government."
The pair also dwelt on the condition of the displaced Syrians and the repercussions of their massive presence in Lebanon on all sectors.
For his part, Moore briefed Aoun on the recent meeting in Paris attended by representatives of France, the UK, and USA.
He also underlined his country's commitment to helping Lebanon and supporting its constitutional legitimacy.
The meeting took place in presence of British Ambassador to Lebanon, Chris Rampling, and Caretaker State Minister for Presidency Affairs, Salim Jreissati.
