3. Lebanon, EU Discuss Return of Syrian Refugees

Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Youssef Raggi met with European Union Ambassador to Lebanon Sandra De Waele to discuss the return of Syrian refugees to their country. Raggi emphasized the need to accelerate the process and urged the EU to intensify its efforts, stressing that aid should prioritize Syrians inside Syria to encourage their return rather than support them in Lebanon.

Ambassador De Waele expressed the EU’s support for Lebanon’s stance on the refugee issue, highlighting that the Union is monitoring the repatriation process and providing incentives to encourage Syrians to return, especially following the fall of the previous Syrian regime.
