US sent two diplomats to Syria: Clinton | |
2009-04-26 | |
WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she had sent two diplomats to Syria and was “heartened” by improved relations between that country and Lebanon. “I sent two of our diplomats to Syria about six weeks ago. We’ve had members of Congress going to Syria,” Clinton told Alhurra television. “We are heartened by the exchange of ambassadors between Lebanon and Syria.”
A US congressional delegation made up of Stephen Lynch, a Democrat, and Republican Bob Inglis met with SyriaÂ’s President Bashar al-Assad earlier this month. The lawmakers voiced optimism that the two countries could work together to advance their common interests in the region. Several high-profile US envoys have visited Damascus this year as the Obama administration pursues a policy of engaging with all countries in the region, even long-time foes. | |
