Jumblat Plays Go-Between for Paris and Damascus, Says Syria’s Stability Important
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has said that Syria’s stability and future are important for Lebanon.
“What matters to us is a strong and stable Syria, where stability is accompanied with reform,” Jumblat told As Safir newspaper on Friday.
The PSP leader described his latest visit to France as “delicate.”
The newspaper remarked that the visit of Jumblat, who was accompanied by caretaker Public Works Minister Ghazi al-Aridi, was aimed at “exchanging messages.”
As Safir said that al-Aridi will head to Syria soon to meet with Assistant Vice President Maj. Gen. Mohammed Nassif to inform him about Jumblat’s talks in Paris.
Jumblat had returned from Paris after holding talks with French Foreign Minister Alaine Juppe and the French president's diplomatic advisor Jean-David Levitte.
