Sarkozy's announcement was confirmed later by Assad and Suleiman during a joint conference.
"Our position is that there is no problem for opening embassies in Syria and Lebanon," said Assad. "If Lebanon is willing to exchange embassies, we have no objections to doing that," he said.
Suleiman meanwhile confirmed that Lebanon and Syria would "work together to put everything in action as soon as possible."
France hailed the landmark decision. A statement issued by the presidential office said Sarkozy "welcomed the Syrian president's strong determination to establish diplomatic relations with Lebanon, following the formation of national unity government (in Lebanon)."
