Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said that deepening and developing bilateral relations with Syria is achieved by forming joint committees to examine all outstanding issues, most importantly the agreements concluded between the two countries, which inevitably require reconsideration, study and evaluation.
In a post on X, the Lebanese precedency said :” Aoun informed Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani ,at their meeting in the Lebanese capital Beirut, that Lebanon is looking forward towards enhancing relations between Lebanon and Syria based on mutual respect, non-interference in internal affairs, and activating cooperation between the two countries in political, economic and security fields to achieve stability in both countries.
Aoun noted that the Syrian decision to suspend the work of Syrian Lebanese Higher Council requires the activation of diplomatic relations, adding that “in this frame, we’re waiting the appointment of a new Syrian ambassador to Lebanon to follow up all the issues through the Syrian and Lebanese embassies in Damascus and Bierut.
He said:” we’ve a long way ahead, and when intentions are pure, the interests of our two brotherly countries will prevail over all considerations, and we have no choice but to agree on what guarantees this interest,” noting that the situations on the Syrian Lebanese borders is better than what it was earlier, and the issues that require treatment, as we’ve agreed upon with President Ahmad al-Sharaa during our two previous meeting in Cairo and Doha, the most prominent of these are the issues of land and maritime borders, the gas pipeline, and the issue of detainees.
We will work to study all these issues based on the common interest”.
