Premier Najib Miqati has hinted that he would visit Damascus soon, his first trip to the Syrian capital since the formation of his government in June, An Nahar daily said Friday.
If the visit takes place, it would be part of other trips made by Lebanese officials, including former Prime Minister Salim Hoss and ex-PM Omar Karami and his son Minister of Youth and Sports Faisal Karami.
Ministerial sources confirmed to al-Liwaa newspaper that Miqati’s visit to the Syrian capital would take place next week. He is expected to hold talks with President Bashar Assad.
Meanwhile, sources close to Karami told As Safir daily that his meeting with Assad was “positive.”
The Syrian president has indicated that the country is coming out of its crisis, they said.
