BEIRUT, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Syria is open to discussing maritime border demarcation with Lebanon, the Syrian ambassador to Lebanon said on Tuesday.
Ali Abdel Karim was quoted by Lebanon's Presidency as saying that "the communication between Syria and Lebanon is open on all matters."
He made the remarks following his meeting at Baabda Palace with Lebanese President Michel Aoun to discuss the latest developments on the maritime border demarcation and matters related to Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
The ambassador said that "a brotherhood and cooperation treaty exists between the two countries, and Syria is always committed to it, even in unresolved matters."
The dispute between Lebanon and Syria over maritime borders came into light last year after Syria gave a license to a Russian energy company to start oil and gas exploration in an area claimed by Lebanon. Enditem
