Syria and Lebanon hope to strike two deals on returning prisoners home and preventing smuggling across their border, they announced. One “judicial agreement” could see hundreds of Syrian prisoners return from Lebanon, while a second “related to borders” would tackle the trafficking of drugs and weapons. Two new committees will draft the agreements after a Syrian delegation visited Lebanon’s Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri on Monday, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported. The texts could then be considered during a “Syrian ministerial visit to Beirut in the near future”.
