Lebanese Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Rodolphe Haykal met Thursday in Beirut with Pakistani Ambassador Salman Athar, who expressed Pakistan's appreciation for the LAF's role in preserving security and stability. The meeting, reported by local media, comes as the Lebanese state seeks to bolster international support for its military institutions amid ongoing efforts to consolidate sovereignty and implement the framework agreement with Israel. As The Zioneer previously reported, the U.S. State Department announced in late June a $30 million package to strengthen the Lebanese army alongside the trilateral security coordination mechanism. The Pakistani envoy's visit underscores continued diplomatic engagement with the LAF leadership, though no details on specific cooperation or new assistance were disclosed.
