"The king of the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is offering this generous and appreciated aid of $3bn to the Lebanese army to strengthen its capabilities," Suleiman said in a televised address on Sunday.
He said the funds would allow Lebanon's military to purchase French weapons. He did not provide any further details of the deal, but said French President Francois Hollande was to discuss the matter during his visit Sunday to Saudi Arabia.
