Syrian- Lebanese relations highlighted

Lebanon's Minister of Works and Transport Najib Miqati stressed importance of Syrian-Lebanese coordination, particularly at this critical stage in the history of the region.

In statements published in Beirut Monday, Miqati said his country sides with Syria on one same line, strategy, and pan-Arab stance, pointing out that Syria would remain with all the Lebanese without exception.

The Lebanese Minister cautioned against plots to undermine the Palestinian issue, especially denying the Palestinians the "right of return" home, "a move that goes parallel to Israel's schemes against the Palestinians in the occupied lands and risks plunging the whole region into a drastic condition."
