President Michel Aoun stressed that work is ongoing to guarantee the return of the Syrian refugees to the safe regions in Syria, without waiting for the political solution that could take long to reach.
During his meeting with High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, Aoun noted that Lebanon is keen on preventing any risks from threatening the refugees returning to their country, adding that that the EU is capable of ensuring this matter physically on the ground.
Aoun had also received the President of the Constitutional Council Issam Sleiman and discussed with him the matters related to the council.
