Syria and Lebanon pledged Sunday to repair the damage to their relations caused by Syria's forced military withdrawal, but they gave little indication of how they would accomplish their goal. Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora met with Syrian President Bashar Assad in the first visit to Damascus by a senior Lebanese official since Syria pulled its troops from Lebanon in April, ending 29 years of military dominance. At a press conference with Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Naji Otari, Saniora said both countries would adopt measures aimed at "bolstering the relationship between the two countries based on equality." But, in a sign of changing times, Saniora said the two sides had agreed to re-evaluate past agreements owing to "changes that sometimes require a reconsideration."Otari said bilateral agreements would be re-evaluated in accordance with the national interests of each country. Saniora said Syria has promised to clear the backlog of hundreds of Lebanese freight trucks that have been stranded for weeks at Syrian border crossings. Many Lebanese have accused Syria of delaying the vehicles as punishment for its humiliating military withdrawal, but Syria has insisted the measures were applied to catch saboteurs and militants. Otari promised a solution "in the very near future." Tension between the two countries has been high since Syria was forced to pull its troops from Lebanon after mass protests and U.S.-led international pressure in the wake of the Feb. 14 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
