Hizbullah International Relations Official Meets Belgian Ambassador
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah international relations official Ammar Moussawi held talks on Wednesday with Belgian Ambassador to Lebanon Colette Taquet in the first meeting of its kind between party and European officials after the European Union blacklisted Hizbullah as a terrorist organization.
Hizbullah said in a statement that the talks addressed the Syrian crisis and its impact on neighboring countries, especially Lebanon.
The two sides agreed that the conflict in Syria can only be resolved through dialogue between the different sides involved.
Discussions also turned to the Syrian refugees in Lebanon and their burden on the country.
Moussawi and Taquet stressed the need to exert greater efforts in order to tackle this issue.
The meeting did not address the EU's decision against Hizbullah.
On Monday, 28 EU foreign ministers unanimously voted to blacklist Hizbullah's military wing.
To get the required agreement of all 28 EU member states, ministers had to overcome reservations in some members that the move would further destabilize Lebanon, where Hizbullah plays a key role in politics.
Accordingly, EU political and economic ties with Lebanon will be fully maintained in a delicate balancing act.
