In a separate meeting, President Aoun met with Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris to discuss Lebanon's current economic landscape, particularly in light of ongoing financial and economic reform efforts.
Later, President Aoun received Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Rudakov, who delivered a written message from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
