Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, Chief of Staff of the Italian Armed Forces, was welcomed by his Lebanese counterpart, General Joseph Aoun, in his Yarzeh office, on Thursday.

The discussions centered on how to develop bilateral relations between the two armies, as well as the broader situation in Lebanon, particularly in southern Lebanon, where Israel and Hezbollah have been fighting for almost ten months.

It is worth noting that the two generals had previously met last April 20, in Paris at the invitation of the French Chief of Staff, Army General Thierry Burkhard, who had invited them specifically as part of efforts to calm the situation in South Lebanon.
