France’s far-right Le Pen in Lebanon for first head of state meeting

France’s far-right Le Pen in Lebanon for first head of state meeting

France’s far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has held talks in Beirut with Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun. Back in France, a new poll has shown that the populist has narrowed the gap in the presidential race.

Marking her first meeting with a head of state, Marine Le Pen was hosted on Monday by Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun (pictured above).

With just nine weeks until French voters head to the polls for the first round of the presidential election, her visit to the former French protectorate – not to mention her unusual encounter with a foreign president – seemed an attempt to bolster her image among French voters as an internationally credible politician.

For 30 minutes, the French far-right party leader met with the Middle East’s only Christian president in the presidential palace in the hilltop suburb of Baabda where they “discussed the long and fruitful friendship between our two countries.”
