"We discussed the Lebanese-Tunisian bilateral relations, as well as the regional and international situation, especially the latest events in Syria," a spokesperson of the delegation told reporters following the meeting.

"Our delegation comprises all the parliamentary blocs; we came here to inspect closely the reality of the situation and to support the Syrian people in its stand against this attack concocted regionally and internationally against Syria," he said.

"We shall try, through all the diplomatic means, to create a public opinion in Tunisia and to lift the diplomatic blocked imposed on Syria with all the Arab Parliaments," he added.

"We came here to salute the Lebanese Resistance, army, and people, on their fresh victory over terrorism in Arsal," he concluded.
