Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour assured Tuesday that Lebanon will commit to its decision to disassociate itself from the developments in Syria and from all the Arab decisions against the neighboring country, and will not attend the “Friends of Syria” conference in Tunisia.

In a statement on Tuesday, Mansour stressed that “in accordance with our disassociation policy, we will not attend the Friends of Syria conference on the 24th of this month.”

Mansour indicated that he received an invitation from his Tunisian counterpart Rafiq Abdul Salam, and stated that “our decision not to interfere in the Syrian internal affairs is clear”.

Moreover, the Lebanese Foreign Minister invited “those who want to interfere in Syria to state what they really want from it,” emphasizing that the disassociation policy is Lebanon’s policy and not his own, and that it achieves Lebanon’s higher interest.
