Germany says Lebanese president's election is chance for 'reforms'

Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Thursday said the election of army chief Joseph Aoun as Lebanon's new president was a chance for "reforms and change" in the war-ravaged country.

"After many years of crisis and stagnation, this is a moment of opportunity to bring about reforms and change," Baerbock said on social media platform X.

"Germany stands by the side of the people of Lebanon on the way forward."
