Aoun discusses bilateral ties with Turkish president's son
President Joseph Aoun discussed Thursday Lebanese-Turkish relations with Bilal Erdogan, son of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in Baabda.
"Lebanon looks forward to a new phase of cooperation and partnership, particularly in the fields of investment, reconstruction, trade, tourism, and infrastructure," Aoun told Erdogan, as he praised "the role that Turkey can play in supporting the stability of Lebanon."
Erdogan, for his part, voiced his country's support for "the steps taken by the Lebanese authorities aimed at extending state sovereignty across all Lebanese territory."
Lebanon's Parliament approved Thursday a military financial cooperation agreement and a cash support implementation protocol with Turkey during a general legislative session.
