BEIRUT, Oct 16 (NNN-NNA) – Hezbollah Leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, emphasised the importance of starting an open and official dialogue with Syria.
The Hezbollah’s stance came, during his meeting with Marada Movement leader, Suleiman Frangieh, to discuss the latest developments on the Syrian front.
A statement issued by Hezbollah’s media office, said, the two officials reaffirmed the need to contact Syrian authorities and benefit from the re-opening of the Boukamal border in Iraq, which will facilitate the export of Lebanese products through Syria to Iraq and other Arab countries.
The two also noted that relations with Syria should be normalised, in a bid to find a quick solution to the Syrian refugee problem.
Lebanese Foreign Minister, Gebran Bassil, announced two days earlier, his plan to visit Syria soon, in a bid to discuss topics that are vital for both countries.
However, Prime Minister, Saad Hariri has, on many occasions, voiced his rejection to conduct a direct dialogue with Syria on any matter, while accusing the Syrian government of assassinating his father, the late Prime Minister, Rafic Hariri.– NNN-NNA
