00:00:00The problem of displaced people in
00:00:03against innocent people are there in Lebanon today can be solved in light of the greater and more severe problems
00:00:05issue must be reconsidered, Lebanon is suffering from, perhaps the most prominent of which are the
00:00:08Israeli incursions in southern Lebanon and
00:00:12what casts its shadow on the Lebanese economy
00:00:15from recurring problems that burden
00:00:19Lebanon.
00:00:33and talking about border
00:00:36Syria is far from this demarcation, can borders be demarcated in the current
00:00:40Syrian-Lebanese situation and what the
00:00:43two countries are experiencing from a legacy and inheritance,
00:00:47whether from the era of the Assad regime in Syria or even from
00:00:51criminal act occurred on the control of Hezbollah militia and its monopoly
00:00:54over Lebanese sovereign files in the
00:00:57rational political discourse that lays the foundation from the defunct regime who past? Can we talk about
00:01:01common interests, border demarcation or just border for a stage of relations based on control and establishing a future
00:01:03stage in which borders will be fully demarcated?
00:01:06First, I
00:01:10would like to refer to what we have already discussed.
00:01:13Yes,
00:01:15the first
00:01:18what is the solution and way to solve this thing is the high-level delegation that came to
00:01:21Damascus now consists of four
00:01:24ministries, first the Ministry of Interior, and then the Ministry of Labor, Education, and Social
00:01:28Affairs, and this means. And this means
00:01:31an embodiment
00:01:33of the agreement that took place between Syria and Lebanon
00:01:37in early June of this year regarding the establishment of
00:01:40with the Syrian revolution or their sympathy with a high committee to consult on important issues and files,
00:01:48families whose children are still our observation of slowness in and at the forefront of them is the security file, and then border demarcation,
00:01:50detained in this judgment, detention, which helps to its care, whether in improve the security
00:01:51or crime. situation and security stability and the stability
00:01:54of security institutions, whether in Syria or in Lebanon, and I particularly
00:01:58mention Lebanon. Our institutions, in fact,
00:02:02although they are rudimentary and although they are primary and although they
00:02:06have not been around for two years, they have reached
00:02:09a level where they can exercise
00:02:13So it pressures these their institutional role through the legislative, judicial, and
00:02:16executive authorities. Returning to border demarcation, border
00:02:19demarcation ends all problems on the
00:02:22borders and reduces the issue of arms smuggling,
00:02:26human trafficking, and drug smuggling,
00:02:29in addition to continuous attacks
00:02:32from cross-border
00:02:36crime, whether
00:02:38on displaced persons to force them to criminal offenses or political offenses or terrorist offenses. Yes,
00:02:42the difficulty of border demarcation is actually
00:02:46a complex and difficult geographical
00:02:49difficulty, in addition to the presence
00:02:53and therefore this of Hezbollah militias in some areas, in addition to the presence
00:02:59phase will be better state's authority and control over of other entities on the Lebanese borders. We
00:03:02can as a passing thought
00:03:06demarcate the borders
00:03:10in a way that is a treatment rather than a complete solution. In this
00:03:13context, Major General, do we
00:03:17need today to demarcate the borders in a preliminary
00:03:20way as you suggest, or do we need to control the borders on
00:03:25many types of both sides, from the Syrian side and from the Lebanese side,
00:03:28in order to end all these problems that you mentioned earlier
00:03:32and which may be troubling for both countries, led by arms
00:03:35smuggling, drug smuggling, human trafficking,
00:03:39and so on? Of course, border
00:03:43control falls on the shoulders of
00:03:46both the Lebanese
00:03:49how will this rapprochement in and Syrian parties, and there is security and intelligence cooperation, and there
00:03:52is cooperation in fact to delineate the borders in this
00:03:54regard, supervising
00:03:57crossings, eliminating illegal crossings
00:04:00that are
00:04:02Syrians present on a refuge for bandits, militias, and smugglers, in addition
00:04:07detainees present in to the issue of tightening control
00:04:09over some areas such as Akkar
00:04:12and Bekaa through
00:04:15the world. Here in the existing towers
00:04:16institutions, strive and equipping them with thermal cameras
00:04:19and remote sensors and drones, and so on, in addition to coordinating
00:04:23joint patrols between Syria and Lebanon. So, border
00:04:26demarcation is a priority that is indispensable,
00:04:30a priority that I think the delegation
00:04:34will now have as its first
00:04:36consultation, the issue of border demarcation. Border
00:04:39demarcation means sovereignty, and Syria strives
00:04:43hard for
00:04:45organizations in the and security institutions to Lebanon to have its own sovereignty, especially governmental
00:04:48sovereignty, not militia sovereignty. So, border
00:04:52countries, to strive to embrace this demarcation helps to
00:04:53in governance and an advancement
00:04:53two years, during two years with a large extent in restoring the issue
00:04:55of the re-centralization
00:04:58of true Lebanese rule.
00:05:00The correct path regarding the issue of eliminating
00:05:03militias
00:05:06Major General, in this and eliminating uncontrolled weapons in Beirut.
00:05:09So, border demarcation is an indispensable priority. Syria
00:05:12can contribute to it through its intelligence and through
00:05:16also institutional relations between
00:05:19the Ministry of Justice and the Ministries of Justice between the two countries and the Ministries
00:05:22of Interior between the two countries in the event of
00:05:26forming a special committee for border demarcation along
00:05:29the 375 km or what it can
00:05:33demarcate through its relations
00:05:36with its
00:05:39institutional relations, through its legal relations, through
00:05:42the agreements concluded between Syria and Lebanon, whether
00:05:46old or before
00:05:49liberation, or the agreements that took place after
00:05:52liberation. Yes. Okay, Major General, also
00:05:56among the important files at the top
00:05:58of the discussions, which are addressed by both the Syrian
00:06:02state and the Lebanese state constantly,
00:06:05is the issue of displaced people and also the issue
00:06:08of detainees in Lebanese prisons. I will start with the displaced. Is
00:06:12there a possibility today to solve the issue of displaced people, whether in
00:06:16Syria or even in Lebanon, in light of what
00:06:20both countries are suffering from? In Syria, there is destruction and devastation
00:06:23of infrastructure from the era of the defunct Assad regime, and also
00:06:27in Lebanon, there is no comprehensive
00:06:31program for voluntary
00:06:32return.
00:06:35Exactly. You mentioned two files:
00:06:38the file of displaced persons
00:06:41and the file of detainees,
00:06:45convicts, and wanted persons.
00:06:48Syria has striven hard and quickly
00:06:51after liberation to solve these
00:06:54problems, despite
00:06:57dealing with them by the Lebanese government
00:07:00due to problems it is experiencing internally.
00:07:04But what I want to say is that the file
00:07:07of detainees has started to unravel somewhat.
00:07:10How? Lebanon
00:07:13started to hand over
00:07:16to Syria, according to the agreements
00:07:20that took place in 2025, whether in February or
00:07:23June, it started to hand over
00:07:26the detainees, the convicts,
00:07:29and those whose trials are underway to the Syrians
00:07:32slowly and in a piecemeal
00:07:35manner. We are talking about
00:07:38two types, Major General. We are talking about two types
00:07:41of detainees. There are political detainees who were
00:07:45arrested during the Assad regime's control of
00:07:49part of Syrian territory and were arrested
00:07:52and detained for political charges,
00:07:54and most of these
00:07:58charges were incorrect, precisely because of the Assad
00:08:01regime's or Hezbollah militia's ties to the Assad regime or similar reasons.
00:08:05However, there is also a group of detainees who are criminal
00:08:08detainees, who have committed crimes and
00:08:12similar offenses in the Lebanese state. How can these two
00:08:16files be truly separated,
00:08:20first, and second, so that they are not
00:08:22exploited more during
00:08:26the coming
00:08:28period? As you mentioned,
00:08:32this file is somewhat complex. There are
00:08:37detainees, whether they are political
00:08:41or involved in criminal incidents, or
00:08:44even politically
00:08:47wanted persons. So, the security
00:08:50file divides these categories
00:08:54into three: a file
00:08:56for convicts, a file for detainees,
00:09:00and a file for criminals. There
00:09:02is extradition for criminals. There are
00:09:06some officers or some personalities
00:09:09wanted for arrest through warrants,
00:09:15Lebanese territory. This is one file. There are
00:09:19Lebanese prisons overcrowded with Syrians
00:09:23who have not yet been tried, whose trials have not
00:09:25begun. Syria requests them
00:09:28to try them in its territory or in its courts or within
00:09:31its constitutional judicial institutions. And there are also
00:09:35those who have served their sentences
00:09:38and Syria wants to receive them so that
00:09:41they can complete
00:09:44their sentences in Syrian prisons and review
00:09:48their files again. So, these files,
00:09:50Syria is actually striving
00:09:52hard through its judicial
00:09:57express that through
00:10:00relations, agreements, and protocols that took place during
00:10:06the Lebanese government.
00:10:08And the Lebanese government is actually somewhat
00:10:13flexible in these
00:10:16matters and difficult in some other
00:10:19matters, especially regarding
00:10:22the issue of Hezbollah and the elements they have
00:10:26and under their
00:10:28protection. Yes, as for the issue
00:10:31of detainees, detainees are of two types:
00:10:35political detainees and criminal detainees.
00:10:39The political issue falls under the
00:10:421951 convention. Syria can, through
00:10:45memoranda, through
00:10:48video tapes, and through
00:10:50some clarifications, submit them to
00:10:54the Lebanese Ministry of Justice and can return them through
00:10:58the 1951 convention legally, judicially,
00:11:02and officially. As for the other detainees,
00:11:05the criminals, and so on,
00:11:08Lebanon prefers that their trials
00:11:10continue or that Lebanon
00:11:13tries them since the
00:11:16Lebanese territory.
00:11:19The 1951 agreement also
00:11:22stipulated in some of its provisions
00:11:25something to this effect, the issue of litigation and completing trials
00:11:29for crimes, misdemeanors, and felonies in both the Lebanese
00:11:33and Syrian states, as it applies to both
00:11:36citizens of both countries. However, here another important question arises:
00:11:40Is the priority, pending the extradition of political detainees
00:11:43to Syria, the detainees in Lebanon,
00:11:45is the priority here to improve the situation of detainees in Lebanese
00:11:49detention centers, or is the priority to
00:11:52expedite their extradition to the Syrian
00:11:55state?
00:11:58Actually,
00:12:01there is a disparity between Lebanese
00:12:04and Syrian opinion. The new Syria seeks
00:12:08to ensure that the Syrian citizen is under
00:12:16As for Lebanon,
00:12:19Lebanon, unfortunately,
00:12:21is under the burden of
00:12:25some other institutions regarding
00:12:28Syrians, so that it can assert its personality
00:12:31before them, so that it can gain some
00:12:35benefits from them.
00:12:38Syrian detainees in our prisons,
00:12:41in our detention centers, unfortunately. But Syria, from
00:12:44its judicial and political
00:12:47side, strives
00:12:50hard to recover these Syrians,
00:12:54whether detainees, wanted persons, or convicts.
00:12:57And returning to the displaced, the displaced are a special
00:13:00file, and a truly complex
00:13:04and arduous
00:13:06file. And the Lebanese government must strive hard to
00:13:10restore administrative affairs regarding
00:13:13Syrian displaced persons.
00:13:16Their identities, their registration certificates,
00:13:19their family books, their health status,
00:13:23their security status. All of this requires effort.
00:13:26Yes, at this point, the point of efforts, Major General,
00:13:30the file of displaced persons for both countries, does it not need international support,
00:13:33both for Syria to rebuild infrastructure to ensure a dignified,
00:13:37safe, and voluntary return for the displaced in
00:13:40Lebanon, and also support for the Lebanese state
00:13:43to establish genuine and comprehensive programs
00:13:47to encourage and accelerate voluntary,
00:13:50safe, and dignified return for Syrians
00:13:53there? Exactly. The
00:13:57return of displaced people from Lebanon to Syria is actually
00:14:01a relief for Syria, a relief for Lebanon, and a relief
00:14:04for the United Nations and all countries of the world. Therefore,
00:14:08the international community, whether through international
00:14:12organizations or even individual countries, must
00:14:15support this displacement, support the return of displaced people to
00:14:19Syria through health
00:14:22supervision, professional
00:14:25supervision, material aid,
00:14:29social and logistical
00:14:32aid. Countries can, through their relief,
00:14:36social, and cultural
00:14:41to embrace this displacement and the return of these
00:14:44thousands to their home countries. Syria is a warm
00:14:48embrace for them now. A person only seeks their homeland.
00:14:51The presence of displaced people in Lebanon is a pressure on
00:14:55Lebanon, a pressure on Syria, and a pressure on the international
00:14:58community. Therefore, Lebanon must appeal,
00:15:01as it is currently the most difficult and the first party in
00:15:05the issue of displaced people. It must strive hard with relief
00:15:10world, with international parties, and it has excellent diplomatic
00:15:13relations with European
00:15:17displacement and manage
00:15:20it in an orderly, civilized,
00:15:23and appropriate manner.
00:15:25The displaced or the host country or the
00:15:28depository. Yes. Okay,
00:15:31regard, in your opinion, what is the fate of the remnants of the
00:15:35defunct regime who are losing Hezbollah's cover
00:15:38day by day with every legitimacy and strength that the
00:15:42Lebanese state gains more and also
00:15:46with the institutionalization of
00:15:49Syrian-Lebanese rapprochement and the re-establishment
00:15:52of relations?
00:15:53Do
00:15:57you mean the remnants present in Lebanon?
00:15:59Yes. Yes, I was talking about the remnants
00:16:03of the defunct regime present in Lebanon. What do you think their fate will be with
00:16:14what is escalating day by day, and also in light of Hezbollah's cover being exposed
00:16:18for them to increase
00:16:20the Lebanese state's power and control over Lebanon
00:16:24and Hezbollah's weakening?
00:16:27Mr. Mustafa, the slogan of the Ministry of Interior in Syria
00:16:31is that no criminal
00:16:34shed Syrian blood will escape. Whether
00:16:38in Syria or outside
00:16:41Syria, it strives hard
00:16:43and diligently
00:16:45to arrest them and bring them to
00:16:49justice within the framework of transitional
00:16:52justice. Yes. In fact,
00:16:56with every passing moment, the noose tightens around these remnants
00:16:59present in Syria. I appeal to these remnants
00:17:02who may not
00:17:05have been involved in many issues to
00:17:08surrender themselves, to present themselves
00:17:12to the Syrian government, to the new Syrian administration, to present themselves
00:17:15to the reconciliation efforts or to the transitional
00:17:19justice and take their rights. As for
00:17:21the criminals, war criminals, or criminals who have committed
00:17:25crimes against humanity, the noose is tightening
00:17:29around them day by day, and
00:17:32the Lebanese government will,
00:17:36after this meeting,
00:17:38the diplomatic meetings and security meetings within its
00:17:41three institutions, in my opinion, the Lebanese
00:17:45government will do what the international
00:17:48community dictates, arrest them and hand them
00:17:52over to the Syrian security to receive
00:17:55their punishment or receive their just retribution within the Syrian
00:18:13channel. A high-level delegation from the Lebanese state
00:18:16is visiting Damascus today, headed by
00:18:19Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Tarek Mitri
00:18:22and ministerial figures, and also a delegation from
00:18:26the Ministry of Interior. How do you view the Syrian-Lebanese
00:18:29rapprochement at the present time
00:18:32and the restoration of the Lebanese
00:18:36Lebanese territory?
00:18:38And Hezbollah's distancing from the scene
00:18:42day by day. Yes, my greetings to you, Mustafa, to your guest
00:18:45and the viewers. There is no doubt that this visit comes within
00:18:49the framework of mutual coordination and mutual visits
00:18:52between the Syrian government and the Lebanese government,
00:18:56and it comes in light of the development of Syrian-Lebanese
00:18:58relations, and it is taking
00:19:01a direction that is not just relations between two neighboring
00:19:05or brotherly countries, but the development is more than
00:19:08that, that this relationship has become a strategic relationship. Today,
00:19:11for the first time in the history of the Lebanese state,
00:19:15there is a friendly and respectful Syrian
00:19:19relationship with the Lebanese state and the institutions of the Lebanese state,
00:19:22and this is what the Syrian leadership and President Ahmed Al-Shara emphasized from the beginning
00:19:26of Syria's liberation, that the relationship today with Lebanon is
00:19:29a relationship between the Syrian state with its institutions and the Lebanese
00:19:33state with its institutions, and not as it always was during
00:19:36the era of tutelage. In the days of the defunct regime, when it
00:19:40allied with forces and parties at the expense of parties and at
00:19:43the expense of Lebanon as a state and a people, and we saw what
00:19:47it did to it, what the Syrian regime did and what it did
00:19:50to Lebanon from massacres and other
00:19:53things through interventions in Lebanese internal affairs. Today, the Syrian-Lebanese
00:19:57relationship is a strategic relationship, a relationship
00:20:01based on mutual respect, on common
00:20:04interests, on respecting the sovereignty and independence
00:20:08of each other, leading
00:20:11to what we saw, the visit of Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani to
00:20:14Lebanon in the past period and the size of the popular
00:20:18and official reception, as well as the visits made by many
00:20:21Lebanese delegations, headed by Prime Minister
00:20:24Nawaf Salam. The visit being made by the ministerial delegation today to
00:20:27Syria is, I believe,
00:20:31a strategic station
00:20:34in building balanced relations and friendly
00:20:37relations,
00:20:41in which we lay the foundation for a future that holds good for Lebanon
00:20:44and the people of Lebanon, and Syria and the people of Syria,
00:20:48and a relationship away from tutelage, away from
00:20:51interventions, away from past conflicts, and turning a
00:20:54new page, and this is what
00:20:57the Syrian leadership has adopted since the liberation of Syria
00:21:00and its assumption of managing the country's affairs through
00:21:04zeroing problems, through balanced policies, through
00:21:07rational discourse, through
00:21:10friendly messages and
00:21:13positive messages, I dare say,
00:21:16sent by the Syrian leadership and President Ahmed Al-Shara to
00:21:20Lebanon and to the countries of the region. We saw in the past period
00:21:24the visit of the Iraqi Prime Minister to Syria. What the Syrian
00:21:28leadership and foreign policy are doing
00:21:31is undoubtedly earning respect and appreciation not only from the
00:21:35Syrian people, but also from the countries of the region and the countries
00:21:38of the world that saw in the Syrian state's discourse and the directions of President
00:21:42Ahmed Al-Shara a realistic,
00:21:48respect, based on
00:21:51based on building
00:21:54a better future for the Syrian people and the peoples
00:21:57of the region. Yes, Mr. Abdul Karim,
00:22:01among the important files that you discussed with Major General
00:22:04is the file of displaced persons. In your opinion,
00:22:08important file for both
00:22:10countries?
00:22:12Yes, I think that
00:22:15perhaps the most
00:22:17thorny files is the file of displaced persons. We must not forget
00:22:21also the file of Syrian prisoners in
00:22:23Roumieh prison in Lebanon, who were also detained on
00:22:27the basis of their affiliation
00:22:30the Syrian revolution or their support for the Syrian revolution. This is also
00:22:34an important file and a demand for many
00:22:40prison, and we know exactly how the
00:22:43trials and the judiciary were previously managed
00:22:46by Hezbollah and the security that was managed by Lebanese Hezbollah
00:22:50officials. This is also a file that must be, and there is no doubt that it is on
00:22:53the agenda of discussions between the Syrian
00:22:55and Lebanese governments, and today Syria
00:22:59is providing all measures and facilities for the return of
00:23:02Syrians, and there are more than 1.8
00:23:05million Syrians who have returned during the past period from
00:23:09Lebanon and from neighboring countries and elsewhere to Syria,
00:23:12and it is trying to provide all possible facilities for the return
00:23:16of all displaced persons and all refugees in neighboring
00:23:19countries to Syria, and today there is
00:23:23no, as there was in the past, no Lebanese or Lebanese government pressure
00:23:28return. However, Lebanon also takes into account
00:23:32the situation in Syria in terms of economic conditions and reconstruction
00:23:35and development and
00:23:38mending relations and rebuilding the country completely,
00:23:43file will be resolved within the framework of discussion
00:23:46and negotiation between the two countries and between the two governments,
00:23:49and within providing facilities for Syrians to
00:23:52return as well. There are many Syrian workers
00:23:56in Lebanon who play a major role in
00:24:00public and private institutions in
00:24:02Lebanon, and most of those who are in Lebanon
00:24:06today have their homes, houses, and villages
00:24:09semi-destroyed or completely destroyed, and therefore
00:24:12the reconstruction phase has not yet begun
00:24:16for them to find a suitable environment for return.
00:24:20Likewise, the Lebanese government takes this aspect into account and has not pressured
00:24:23them, but I believe that all these files are on the discussion
00:24:27table within the framework of mutual understanding between
00:24:30the two countries. Yes, I return to you, Major General, and in reference to the words of my guest,
00:24:34Mr. Abdul Karim Al-Omar, Major General, in your opinion,
00:24:39Syrian-Lebanese relations reflect on Syrians
00:24:42in Lebanon, especially since, as you know,
00:24:45the great importance of foreign relations is to achieve
00:24:48the welfare of peoples.
00:24:53Not only in Lebanon, but in all countries of the world.
00:24:57Yes, the new Syrian diplomatic policy has
00:25:00citizens all over
00:25:05Germany, the Syrian citizen has become another
00:25:08personality.
00:25:11In France, in Britain, in any country in the world,
00:25:14especially in Lebanon, when
00:25:18His Excellency President Ahmed Al-Shara and his wisdom
00:25:21respected and appreciated human beings
00:25:25and deleted more than
00:25:27two million reports and computer records
00:25:31against these innocent citizens
00:25:34merely because they wanted dignity or wanted to express
00:25:38their opinion. This is all, in fact, an advancement
00:25:43in expression. So I return
00:25:47to the issue of displaced persons. Syria has
00:25:50a major role in the issue of returning displaced persons through,
00:25:54as we discussed earlier, the issue
00:25:58of reports, deleting reports. How many reports are there
00:26:01against Syrians? How many accusations
00:26:05computers? This
00:26:08and then there are detainees held by Hezbollah,
00:26:12Hezbollah militias, among Syrians who were
00:26:14against it. In addition, there are some family
00:26:18disputes that Lebanon did not rule on,
00:26:20but rather detained them unjustly
00:26:23and oppressively. There are many files that Syria can
00:26:27now calmly, through diplomatic channels, and through
00:26:30the high-level delegation present in
00:26:34Syria, discuss all of them, and I do not believe at all that
00:26:39approach. All these
00:26:42files
00:26:44will be raised in order of priority: the security
00:26:48file, the displaced persons file, the file of extraditing criminals,
00:26:52the file of extraditing detainees, reconstruction, border
00:26:55demarcation, the issue of legitimate crossings, the issue of illegal
00:26:59crossings, in addition to unifying
00:27:04in terms of unifying goods so that there is no smuggling between Syria
00:27:08and Lebanon, and Lebanon and Syria, in addition to
00:27:11tightening border security
00:27:15against human trafficking, organ trafficking,
00:27:18and arms and drugs. There are many complex and difficult files,
00:27:22but Syria strives hard, calmly,
00:27:26and diplomatically. When Lebanon regains its sovereignty,
00:27:30when Syria regains, excuse me,
00:27:33its institutions and governs within
00:27:36its institutions and moves away from the pressures of
00:27:39some militias in its territory, I believe that all
00:27:43these solutions will fall into one category, which is the category
00:27:47of Lebanese sovereignty, and then Syrian sovereignty. Yes, I will turn to you with a final
00:27:51question, Mr. Abdul Karim, in your opinion, where are Syrian-Lebanese
00:27:55relations
00:27:55heading?
00:28:06are heading towards
00:28:08its best, as I mentioned, the visits
00:28:12and meetings that took place between the Syrian leadership and the Lebanese government after
00:28:16the liberation,
00:28:18we see the extent of Lebanese optimism for the new Syria,
00:28:22meaning through the statements of many
00:28:25leaders of blocs, parties, and political forces in Lebanon, and similarly,
00:28:28what Lebanese people in general are talking about regarding a new
00:28:32Syria and the Syrian political discourse towards
00:28:36Lebanon, considering that the new Syria
00:28:39considers Lebanon a sovereign state with its institutions, its borders,
00:28:43and its government, unlike the previous situation in which
00:28:46the defunct Syrian regime, which
00:28:50considered Lebanon merely
00:28:52a colony, today the situation
00:28:55is completely different. Therefore, I believe that the next
00:29:01on the political, economic, and security levels. Securing
00:29:05the Syrian-Lebanese borders, combating smuggling, terrorism,
00:29:09and the remnants of the defunct regime who are in Lebanon, there will probably be Syrian-Lebanese
00:29:12security cooperation in
00:29:16their arrest or preventing them from harming Syria from
00:29:19inside Lebanon or carrying out acts that affect Syrian security from inside
00:29:23Lebanon. There are many levels
00:29:26that the Syrian and Lebanese governments will work on
00:29:29within the framework of building distinguished relations.
00:29:33Especially since Lebanon is the brother
00:29:36and neighbor, as well as the western gateway to Syria. Yes.
00:29:39So I believe that the Syrian-Lebanese relationship will be very
00:30:34relations stand at a new
00:30:36stage whose title is rearranging
00:30:39priorities and opening a different page of cooperation
00:30:43and coordination after years of tensions
00:30:46and challenges that left their impact on various
00:30:50common issues. Politically, issues of
00:30:53borders, refugees, transit, and security coordination are at the
00:30:56forefront of discussions, while economically,
