PM-designate Denies Preparations for Miqati-Suleiman Visit to Damascus
Najib Miqati’s press office denied on Wednesday that the Premier-designate’s brother went to Damascus the day before to set the stage for a visit by Miqati and President Michel Suleiman to the Syrian capital.
The press office said in a statement that the report about a visit by Taha Miqati to prepare for a meeting that the prime minister-designate and the president would hold with Syrian President Bashar Assad was “untrue.’
An Nahar daily reported on Wednesday that Taha Miqati visited Damascus to discuss with Syrian officials the formation of the new government.
The meeting was also aimed at setting the stage for a possible visit by Suleiman and Miqati to the Syrian capital to announce support for Assad against growing unrest, it said.
