President Aoun discusses return of displaced Syrians with Ambassador Ali, tackles educational affairs with MP Traboulsi

NNA - President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, received Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdel Karim Ali, today at the Presidential Palace.

Bilateral relations between Lebanon and Syria, especially what is related to the situation of the Syrian refugees in Lebanon in light of the plan that Lebanon puts in place to gradually return them to their homeland were deliberated.

 

Statement:

After the meeting, the Syrian ambassador made the following statement: 

"I was pleased today to meet His Excellency the President and conveyed to him the greetings of President Bashar al-Assad and his wishes for Lebanon continued progress. 

 

We discussed a number of issues of concern to the two countries, based on the brotherly relations that unite us, especially the issue of the return of  Syrian refugees from Lebanon to Syria, which we are witnessing today more than ever, a serious treatment, especially since Syria provided the necessary facilities for this and took measures that help to achieve this return, in cooperation with the brotherly Lebanese state.  

 

The major countries and international organizations need to facilitate this return, and help both countries to complete it and stop suggesting that Syria does not want its sons to return to it. This is incorrect and refuted by the facts
