French President Emmanuel Macron will on Tuesday, April 21, meet with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in Paris, the Elysée said, as a fragile 10-day truce holds between Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.

The visit highlights Macron's commitment to seeing "full and complete respect for the ceasefire in Lebanon" as well as France's support for Lebanon's "territorial integrity," the president's office said on Sunday. The announcement of the visit came a day after France blamed Iran-backed Hezbollah for the death of a French peacekeeper in Lebanon.
