President Michel Aoun received Tuesday at the Baabda Palace a delegation of US Catholic Bishops, where they tackled the issue of the Syrian refugees.
President Aoun briefed the delegation on the situation in Lebanon, focusing on "the external and economic crises and the Syrian war that have weighed on the country, especially the repercussions of the Syrian displacement and Lebanon's call for a gradual return of displaced people to safe areas in their country."
The President called on the delegation to "interfere with the US administration so as to support Lebanon's position and facilitate the return of displaced people," pointing to "obstacles placed by some external parties in the way of the Lebanese pursuit."
