Lebanon's president Michel Suleiman has arrived in Damascus for landmark talks with his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad.
The meeting of the two leaders is aimed at establishing diplomatic relations for the first time. The two-day visit is the first by a Lebanese president to Syria since the 2005 assassination of former premier Rafiq Hariri in Beirut. The murder, which many in Lebanon blame on Syria, triggered the pullout of Syrian forces from Lebanon after almost 30 years of military presence.
