Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati arrived in Damascus Saturday in the first such visit since before civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, an AFP journalist reported.

Mikati’s visit comes as the neighbouring countries seek better relations after Islamist-led rebels toppled longtime strongman Bashar al-Assad last month.
