Bou Habib meets Syrian counterpart in Jeddah
Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib met Wednesday with his Syrian counterpart Faisal al-Miqdad on the sidelines of the Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Jeddah.
"The meeting was cordial," al-Miqdad said, adding that all refugees are welcome back to Syria and should return.
Al-Miqdad also said that any Lebanese official is welcome in Syria, after a reporter mentioned that a Lebanese delegation would visit Syria soon.
Syria returned to the Arab League, after it agreed earlier this month to reinstate it, ending a 12-year suspension and taking another step toward bringing Syrian President Bashar Assad, a long-time regional pariah, back into the fold.
