The March 14 general secretariat said Wednesday that Premier Saad Hariri”s visit to Syria was an opportunity to end the struggle between the two countries and solve pending issues.
Hariri”s trip to Damascus "wasn”t easy. It required courage from every Lebanese and particularly from Prime Minister Hariri himself," the general-secretariat said in a statement following its weekly meeting.
"This visit is a true test and opportunity … to end the struggle" with Syria, the statement said.
The conferees added that it was now the responsibility of the Assad regime to find a solution to pending issues such as missing or jailed Lebanese in Syria, demarcation of the border and Palestinian bases outside refugee camps in Lebanon.
