Lebanese President General Michel Aoun stressed on Wednesday from New York that Lebanon's army is capable of confronting terrorism and that the "assistance it receives is an essential factor to enable it to fully carry out its tasks," the National News Agency [NNA] reported.

Lebanese President from NY: Army Can Stand Up to Terrorism, Terrorists

"The Lebanese military is able to stand up to terrorism and terrorists. The assistance it receives is essential to enable it to carry out its tasks fully in the face of a difficult and experienced enemy who has succeeded in spreading fear and killing all over the world," said Aoun.

Aoun's remarks came during his meeting with a delegation of the American Task Force for Lebanon in New York on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the UN General Assembly.

The meeting also focused on the Lebanese-US relations and the role of the delegation in enhancing and activating them in various fields, NNA added.

"The delegation also praised the Lebanese army's military achievement and the success of the Dawn of the Outskirts operation and its positive impact on political workers in the United States," it said.

Lebanon last month launched an offensive to oust Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] terrorists on the outskirts of the northeastern towns of Al-Qaa and Ras Baalbeck.

Earlier, Aoun held separate talks with Jordanian King Abdullah II and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, focusing on fighting terror, ‘Israeli' violations of Lebanese sovereignty, and the situation in the country's Palestinian refugee camps.

The Lebanese President is scheduled to deliver a speech on behalf of Lebanon to the General Assembly Thursday, Sept. 21.
