BEIRUT, Nov 7 (APP/AFP): Syria’s presidency dispatched an envoy to Lebanon on Monday to congratulate newly-elected President Michel Aoun, the first such official visit in six years. In a statement, Aoun’s office said he had received “a message of congratulations on his election as president of the republic from his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad carried by Syria’s Minister of Presidential Affairs Mansour Azzam.” Speaking after the meeting, Azzam said Assad’s message included his hope for a “new era which we hope will bring good things, stability and security for the brotherly nation of Lebanon.” The trip is the first by a Syrian official to Lebanon since 2010
