Syrian Ambassador says border meeting postponed not cancelled
President Michel Aoun met Tuesday with Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali.
Ali said, in a press conference, before leaving Baabda, that Syria did not "cancel" a scheduled appointment with a Lebanese delegation, but rather apologized for not being able to receive the delegation on Wednesday because of "previously-scheduled appointments".
The delegation was supposed to head to Syria to discuss the sea border demarcation between the two countries.
"The meeting was not canceled but the date will be agreed upon later," Ali said, adding that the top Syrian officials had previously-scheduled engagements on Wednesday.
According to the Ambassador, Lebanon announced the day of the visit before checking with Syria.
