Lebanese Defence Minister Elias Murr revealed Saturday that Russia will supply the Lebanese army with modern military equipment unconditionally, Naharnet website reported.
Murr, who will visit Russia next week, said he will discuss with Russian defence minister what could be provided to the Lebanese army.
Murr made the remarks when meeting with head of Russian Federal Service for military and technical cooperation Mikhail Dimitriev on Saturday.
Dimitriev said after the meeting that Russia is interested in regional stability, especially in Lebanon.
"We wish to provide a new pulse to our bilateral relations in the military and technical fields," he added.
The Lebanese army's need for modern equipment and advanced arms has been a controversial issue. Media reports said that the United States is willing to supply the Lebanese army with military equipment, but would not go too far to disturb Israel.
