Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and his United Arab Emirates counterpart, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahayan, on Sunday voiced support for the Doha Agreement on Lebanon, the UAE's WAM news agency reported.
The two leaders also called for stepping-up efforts to bolster Arab unity, the agency reported, without elaborating.
Assad is in Abu Dhabi on a two-nation tour that will also take him to Kuwait on Tuesday. His trip follows talks in Damascus on Friday with Qatar's emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, whose country last month hosted Lebanese reconciliation talks.
The Arab League-brokered Doha Accord led to the election of former Army Commander General Michel Suleiman as president in Lebanon on May 25 after a six-month vacuum. Lebanese politicians also agreed to form a national-unity government giving the opposition veto power on decision-making and adopt a new electoral law for legislative polls next year.
