French Ambassador to Lebanon Denis Pietton said that his country provided logistic and diplomatic aid in the case of the seven Estonians who were freed on Thursday almost four months after being abducted by armed men.
"France had been solicited for... logistic and diplomatic aid in the case as Estonia does not have an embassy in Lebanon," Pietton told reporters after meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs Adnan Mansour.
He added that he was happy his country had been able to aid Lebanon and Estonia in reaching Thursday's "happy ending."
The envoy also said that the seven Estonians are at the French Embassy and in good health.
Seven kidnapped Estonians were freed in Lebanon Thursday, almost four months after being abducted by armed men as they entered the country on a bicycle tour from neighboring Syria.
