French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Lebanon on Friday, marking the second visit by a head of state since Lebanon elected a president last week. Macron's visit aims to show France's commitment to supporting Lebanon's sovereignty and unity. The trip comes after the election of Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and the appointment of Nawaf Salam as prime minister to form a cabinet and address the country's economic crisis. Macron's visit also follows a ceasefire in November that ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah, with the French president hoping to work on the implementation of the ceasefire during his trip.
