The Syrian government apologized for not being able to receive Wednesday a Lebanese delegation that was supposed to discuss the issue of sea border demarcation between the two countries, an official Lebanese source said.
The Syrian government said the apology is related to “previously-scheduled appointments.”
A Syrian diplomatic source meanwhile told Hezbollah-affiliated Mayadeen that “there was no agreement over an appointment in the first place for it be canceled.”
“The Lebanese side proposed a date that was not appropriate for the Syrian side, but there has been no cancelation of an appointment nor a visit request,” the source added.
LBCI meanwhile said that “the security agencies in each of Lebanon and Syria are not enthusiastic to launch dialogue over the issue of sea border demarcation between the two countries, which was reflected in a letter that was sent to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry through the Syrian embassy.”
