At Kuwait's conference to support displaced Syrians, Michel Suleiman, president of the Lebanese Republic, presented a plan that included not only Lebanon's financial demands to help shelter the displaced, but also a vision of how to formulate a collective Arab solution to the crisis. The problems posed by the flow of Syrian refugees into Lebanon are not limited to the financial cost, despite the importance of this matter, but also involves other risks, such as that this wave of refugees could affect Lebanon's security and disrupt its political and demographic stability.
On the eve of the conference, Lebanese diplomatic channels explained the country's overall vision on this matter to influential regional and global countries. A source from the Lebanese Foreign Ministry spoke about these communications to Al-Monitor, and noted the most important ideas put forth by the Lebanese side.
