Report: Suleiman Heads to Syria after Cabinet Vote of Confidence

President Michel Suleiman is expected to visit Syria after the adoption of the cabinet’s policy statement and parliament’s vote of confidence, the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat reported on Friday.

Suleiman is reportedly said to visit Syria to meet his counterpart President Bashar Assad.

Sources told the newspaper that the Syrian president sent an official invitation to Suleiman to visit Damascus during the last telephone conversation between the two men.

On Monday, Assad telephoned Suleiman to congratulate him on the formation of a new cabinet led by Prime Minister Najib Miqati.

The sources noted that the Lebanese president’s visit will be an occasion to express solidarity with Syria and support its stability.
