Syria government canceled the preparation meeting for Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri's visit to Damascus which was supposed to be held on Wednesday, the Lebanese al-Manar TV reported. The meeting was canceled after Syria made an objection to the composition of the Lebanese delegation, which it considered as incompetent to discuss the relevant issues. Hariri announced earlier that an official economic-technical delegation will hold preparatory meeting in Damascus Wednesday with officials of the Syrian side to negotiate amendments likely to be introduced to the old bilateral agreements and to discuss new drafts that could be signed between the two sides. Syrian side argued that the delegation is consisted of low- level officials instead of decision makers, demanding the delegation members should be Lebanese deputy cabinet ministers or people on a par. Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Otri required Nasri Khouri, chief of the Syrian-Lebanese Higher Counsel, to inform the Lebanese authorities of Syria's decision, the report added. Hariri's visit to Syria, which has been postponed several times in the last few weeks, is widely expected as a chance to achieve compromise between the two countries after five years of discord. The Lebanese prime minister visited Syria for the first time on Dec. 19, 2009, which his press office stated 'is to start new bilateral relationships between the two countries.'
