Trenta met with Prime Minister Saad Hariri, after also meeting Lebanon's President Michel Aoun and the Speaker of the Parliament of Lebanon Nabih Berri earlier in the afternoon.
On Tuesday the Italian defence minister will head to Lebanon's south to visit Italian troops stationed along the border with neighboring Israel.
Italian troops are part of the UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), tasked with maintaining security and facilitate dialogue between Lebanon and Israel.
