President Michel Suleiman held talks with Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet in the Baabda palace on Tuesday.
Paet expressed his gratitude to the Lebanese security forces’ efforts in searching for the seven kidnapped Estonian cyclists.
Moreover, he expressed his condolences over the death of an Internal Security Forces member who was killed while chasing one of the suspects in the crime.
For his part, Suleiman promised Paet that the Lebanese authorities will not stop their search to find the cyclists.
“We hope that the capture of the kidnappers would clear everything”, the president said.
Suleiman later met with caretaker Minister of Communication Charbel Nahhas who briefed the president on plans to develop the communication sector.
He also held talks with MP Jamal Jarrah on accusations against the MP that he is funding a terrorist cell in Syria.
