Prime Minister Nawaf Salam wrote on his account on X: With the aim of strengthening bilateral relations between Lebanon and Syria, and establishing them on a basis of cooperation and coordination from state to state, in a way that achieves the common interests of our two countries and “based on the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, and good neighbourliness,” I signed yesterday with the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic, His Excellency Brother Asaad Al-Shaibani, an agreement to establish the joint Lebanese-Syrian Higher Committee. Congratulations to our two brotherly peoples.
