Annan discusses Syrian situation with Lebanese President   

Kuwait News Agency - 01 June, 2012

The UN-Arab League Joint Special Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan on Thursday met with Lebanese President Michel Suleiman to discuss the six-point plan for resolving the Syrian crisis.

The talks dealt with the ordeal of 11 Lebanese nationals abducted in Syria, according to a statement issued by the Presidential Office here.

Annan briefed President Suleiman on the stages that his initiative passed and the outcomes of his recent meetings with Syrian leaders in Damascus.

The statement noted that the Lebanese President pointed out Annan's efforts and stressed its importance in finding a peaceful resolution for Syrian crisis, adding that the two sides also discussed current efforts in finding out about the fate and release of the Lebanese abductees in Syria.

Annan is expected to meet with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mekati on Friday to follow up with the case of Lebanese abductees in Syria.
