President Michel Suleiman headed on Sunday a meeting of the Lebanese delegation hours after arriving in New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly sessions and a conference of an international support group for Lebanon.

The state-run National News Agency said the meeting was aimed at making last minute preparations for Suleiman’s participation at the General Assembly and a speech he is scheduled to make.

Their talks also focused on the Sept. 25 meeting to help Lebanon confront the Syrian refugee influx, which will be headed by Suleiman and U.N. chief Bank Ki-moon and attended by the foreign ministers of the five permanent Security Council members, the head of the World Bank, in addition to officials from different U.N. agencies such as the UNDP and UNHCR.
