Daily Star.com.lb –– BEIRUT: Lebanese Army chief Gen. Joseph Aoun met with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah in Kuwait City Wednesday morning, thanking the leader for “continued support to Lebanon and its Army,” a Lebanese Army statement reported. Aoun is on the second and final day of an official visit to the Kuwaiti capital to follow up on the monetary support that was pledged by the Gulf country to Lebanon at the Rome II conference last month. The conference took place on March 15 and saw dozens of countries pledge support for Lebanon’s military and security forces. The Army’s statement did not provide details of Aoun’s meeting with Sheikh al-Sabah. The Lebanese Army chief is “on an official visit to follow up on what was pledged at Rome II,” an Army source told The Daily Star Tuesday. Aoun’s visit also comes less than one week after Kuwait pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in soft loans to support Lebanon’s economy and infrastructure at a separate conference in Paris. Tuesday saw Aoun talk bilateral ties and mutual cooperation with top Kuwaiti government officials.
