| Former Lebanese Prime Minister Salim Al-Hoss on Monday described as positive his talks with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad in Damascus. In a statement issued by his office, Hoss said the talks focused on "the latest political developments in the area." He also said the talks "provided an opportunity for consultation on a wide range of issues of bilateral interest against the backdrop of the grave dangers looming over the area, specifically in Iraq and Palestine." The statement pointed out that discussions between Hoss and Assad also focused on "the current political crisis in Lebanon and ways of dealing with it." The two men also discussed bilateral relations between Lebanon and Syria. Hoss, who paid an official visit to Syria at the invitation of the Syria's president, had paid a similar visit to Saudi Arabia the day before during which he conferred with the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, Saudi King Abdallah bin Abdel-Aziz over the latest regional political developments specifically those of them with direct impact on the Lebanese domestic scene. Hoss is to fly to Tehran next Monday to confer with Iranian officials on the Lebanese crisis, the statement said. |
