Lebanese Army Security Conference Reexamines Border Relations

The preparatory meeting for the international conference in Paris discussed supporting the Lebanese Army and security forces, aiming to meet the needs of the military and security institutions in the upcoming phase. The discussion focused on enhancing the capabilities of the army and internal security forces in terms of funding, equipment, training, and operational capacity, with particular attention to reducing the overlap of internal tasks that have compelled the army to perform non-defensive roles for years. Experts emphasize the importance of increasing the number of internal security personnel to 30,000 in order to fully cover internal duties, thereby alleviating the burden on the army and enabling it to concentrate on defensive roles along the borders. They also stress the necessity of improving salaries and equipment, developing technical skills, and utilizing modern technologies to maintain security more efficiently. It is crucial that the army remains committed to its primary role of border defense, while internal security forces take responsibility for internal security to achieve a balanced security approach and ease the burden on the military institution.
