W460

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam will visit Damascus soon with a ministerial delegation to meet with Syria's new president Ahmad al-Sharaa.

Salam told Annahar newspaper, in remarks published Tuesday, that Lebanon can turn over a new page with Syria after a "good" call he had with Sharaa.

Salam also stressed in a meeting Tuesday his government's willingness to carry out reforms, monopolize weapons and extend the state's authorities across all Lebanon. "The army is playing a major role in south Lebanon and things are going in the right direction," Salam said.
