The Commander-in-chief of the Army, General Joseph Aoun, received the Qatari ambassador, Saoud Bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani on Tuesday in Yarzeh. He expressed his gratitude to the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, for his continued support for the Lebanese Army.

In turn, the Qatari diplomat confirmed “the continuity of Qatari support for Lebanon and the army throughout the current context.”

We recall that General Joseph Aoun is considered by certain parties to be the consensual candidate par excellence for the presidential elections. According to diplomatic sources, Qatar strongly supports his candidacy.
