British Ambassador in Beirut and relations with Syria

British Ambassador in Beirut James Watt said on Wednesday that his country always seeks to have positive and constructive relations with Syria.

"There is a serious dialogue between Britain and Syria," the British Ambassador said in a statement, expressing hope that the Syrian-EU Association will come for the interest of both Syria and Britain.

Watt expressed his country's welcome of the expected visit of Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Shara to London, during which, the Ambassador says, talks will tackle a number of issues, among them cooperation within the partnership Association. On Lebanon, Watt said no one has interests to hit stability in Lebanon.
