Lebanon received on Thursday a set of copies of archival documents and maps from France related to its border lines with Syria, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

The maps, delivered at the official request of Lebanon, were handed to Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji.

In a post on its X page, the Foreign Ministry said that Rajji received French Ambassador to Lebanon, Hervé Magro, who delivered a set of historical documents and maps from the French archives related to the Lebanese-Syrian border.

The papers are expected to assist Lebanon in the demarcation process of its land borders with neighboring Syria.

Lebanon shares a 330-kilometer (205-mile) border with Syria with no official demarcation at several points.
