In his message Assad wished that “Lebanon will enjoy stability and security, and that it will proceed towards progress and prosperity,” the Syrian President said in the message.
“The malign attempts of colonialism to interfere in the affairs of Lebanon and Syria clearly show intentions to take our region back to the colonial era,” added Assad in his message.
