BEIRUT, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier concluded a three-day official visit to Lebanon on Wednesday, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.
Steinmeier met with Lebanese President Michel Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Muslim and Christian spiritual leaders during his visit at the invitation of Aoun, NNA said.
During his meeting with Hariri, they discussed Berlin's participation in upcoming international conferences intended to shore up Lebanon's security forces and boost its economy.
Lebanon, a host of around one million Syrian refugees, is gearing up for three international conferences scheduled in the coming months.
Steinmeier, who arrived in Lebanon on Monday, also inspected the German troops as part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on a German vessel at the Port of Beirut.
Since October 2006, Germany has deployed 126 soldiers to the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon, including the Maritime Task Force which supports the Lebanese navy in securing the country's maritime borders.
