The European Union stands ready to support Lebanon's development, the European commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations said Monday.

Official: EU Ready to Support Lebanon’s Development

"Meeting with the President of #Lebanon, General Michel #Aoun. I underlined that #EU is ready to support #Lebanon's own development. Expressed also my deep respect for #Lebanon's role hosting so many #refugees," Johannes Hahn tweeted after meeting Aoun at Baabda Palace.

Hahn's meeting with president came before a scheduled sit-down with Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

The EU official was initially set to hold a news conference after the meeting with Hariri, according to a statement from the EU in Lebanon, but a later statement announced that the news conference had been cancelled. No reasons were given for the cancellation.

Hahn was also set to meet with Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil and speak at an event at the American University of Beirut. On Tuesday, he is scheduled to visit Tripoli's port and special economic zone.
