Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali stated in a press conference that Syria did not “cancel” a scheduled appointment with a Lebanese delegation, but rather apologized for not being able to receive the delegation because of “previously-scheduled appointments.”
The delegation was supposed to head to Syria to discuss the sea border demarcation between the two countries.
“The meeting was not canceled but the date will be agreed upon later,” ambassador Ali said, adding that the top Syrian officials had previously-scheduled engagements on Wednesday.
According to the Syrian ambassador, Lebanon announced the day of the visit before checking with Syria.
