JAKARTA - The Syrian government's ban on foreign trucks entering the country has led Lebanon and Jordan to intervene by seeking solutions with the relevant authorities.
The head of the Land and Maritime Transport at the Lebanese Ministry of Transport, told AFP on Wednesday, February 11 that discussions on this matter between Lebanon-Jordan-Syria are underway.
The Syrian decision was published last Saturday and excludes trucks that only pass through Syria to other countries.
AFP reported on Tuesday that dozens of trucks affected by the rule were on the Lebanese side of the Masnaa border.
Tamer said the issuance of this rule does not specifically target Lebanon, which has so far had good relations with Syria since the fall of Bashar Assad.
According to Tamer, Lebanon sends about 500 trucks to Syria every day.
In Jordan, which was also affected by the decision, Transportation Ministry spokesman Mohammed Al-Dweiri admitted that "discussions are ongoing, and we are waiting for a response from the Syrian side regarding the entry permit and the crossing of foreign trucks."
Dweiri said that Jordanian trucks continue to unload their cargo in the free zone at the Nassib border with Syria.
Dweiri said, around 250 Jordanian trucks travel to Syria every day.
