The Acting U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Pernille Kardel Wednesday met with Lebanese Army representatives in Bekaa’s Ras Baalbeck and Arsal near the northern borders, in a follow-up visit after the Rome II conference in March.
“Today I saw first-hand how the Lebanese Army’s presence ... has succeeded in extending state authority in the area and consolidating its security and stability,” a statement from Kardel’s office quoted her saying following the visit.
