France's foreign minister Hubert Vedrine arrives in Damascus tomorrow evening in a visit to the country. Vedrine will be holding talks on bilateral relations, the situation in the ME and the Israeli practices in the occupied Arab territories.

The deputy spokesman for the French foreign ministry Bernard Valero said on Wednesday in a statement that France is always of the opinion that the way to peace should involve all tracks including the Syrian- and Lebanese.

The French foreign minister will attend the final session of the Syrian- French- Higher Committee's activities of bilateral, scientific, technical and cultural cooperation, the French deputy spokesman added.

He described the bilateral cooperation as dynamic involving other topics covering the exchange of university visits, rehabilitating university lecturers and archaeology excavation teams.
