Mexican Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Meade, who is on an official visit to Beirut, said he is looking forward for a wider cooperation with Lebanon to help it confront the burden of Syrian refugees.

“Part of our dialogue with Lebanon should take into consideration Lebanon’s burden in assisting the refugees,” Meade told An Nahar daily in an interview published on Tuesday.

However, the foreign minister, who is of Lebanese origin, shied away from announcing that his country would walk in Uruguay’s footsteps and host refugees.
