Nawaf Salam and Ahmad al-Sharaa discussed several issues, including Syrian refugees in Lebanon, border security, and trade cooperation
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam visited Damascus on 14 April and met with Syria’s interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa – the former Al-Qaeda chief known previously as Abu Mohammad al-Julani.
“This visit will open a new page in the history of relations between the two countries, based on mutual respect, the restoration of trust, good neighborliness, the preservation of our two countries' sovereignty, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, because Syria's decision is for the Syrians and Lebanon's decision is for the Lebanese,” Salam said in the meeting.
“Discussions were held with President Sharaa and Syrian officials regarding border control and crossings, preventing smuggling, and ultimately demarcating the land and sea borders,” the Lebanese prime minister’s media office said.
“This was initiated during a meeting [last month] in Jeddah between the two countries' defense ministers, sponsored by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Both sides emphasized the importance of strengthening security coordination to preserve the stability of both countries,” it added.
Salam was accompanied by Lebanese Defense Minister Michel Menassa, Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji, and Interior Minister Ahmad Hajjar.
