French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné arrived this evening at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport on a private plane for his second visit to Lebanon since assuming his duties at the French Foreign Ministry.

The French Ambassador to Lebanon, Hervé Magro, welcomed the French minister and his accompanying delegation.

He also met with Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Army Commander-in-Chief General Joseph Aoun.
