During his meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani at Baabda Palace, President Joseph Aoun affirmed Lebanon’s commitment to establishing fraternal relations between the two countries based on cooperation, coordination, and non-interference in the internal affairs of both countries. He said: We are keen on the stability of Syria just as Syria is keen on the stability of Lebanon, adding that he is satisfied with the coordination between the two countries, especially in the areas of border control and preventing the smuggling of people and weapons and everything that is harmful to the security of the two countries. Aoun pointed out that President Al-Sharaa assured me in more than one meeting and call that Syria's role will not be like its role in the past, and that a new page has been opened between the two countries in which Syria will not be with one party against another, but rather alongside all the Lebanese. He continued: We welcome the formation of the Supreme Committee between the two countries to preserve the interests of both Lebanon and Syria. Al-Shaibani conveyed to President Aoun the greetings of President Al-Sharaa and an official invitation to visit Damascus, stressing that his visit aims to strengthen relations between the two countries and activate coordination, especially in the economic field.
