Aoun and Hajjar Discuss Strengthening Security and Stability in Beirut and the South

Republic President General Joseph Aoun discussed the country's security situation with Minister of Interior and Municipalities Ahmad Al-Hajjar, who briefed him on the measures taken by the ministry to enhance security and stability in the country, considering that the safety of citizens is a priority without compromise.

In this context, the measures taken by the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces, in coordination with the Lebanese Army, were reviewed to strengthen security deployment and patrols in various regions, particularly in the capital Beirut. Emphasis was also placed on taking necessary proactive measures by relevant security agencies to prevent any threats to internal security, in accordance with what was decided at the Central Internal Security Council during its last session last week.

The importance of strengthening the presence of the state and its security and administrative institutions in the south was also affirmed, along with supporting municipalities and enabling them to play their role in improving public services, contributing to meeting the needs of citizens and enhancing their resilience and attachment to their land.
