Lebanese Army Commander General Jean Kahwaji has underlined Iran’s outstanding role in the establishment of regional security, saying his country welcomes any initiative by friendly countries to assist its armed forces.
In a meeting with Iran’s Ambassador to Beirut Mohammad Fat’hali on Friday, the commander said the Lebanese army is ready to accept any military donation or assistance from friendly countries and use the military hardware to safeguard Lebanon’s territorial integrity and security.
