BEIRUT, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- Visiting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said here Friday that the assistance of Lebanon in assuming the burden of refugees is persisting, announcing a contribution of 10 million euros to deal with this crisis.

Steinmeier highlighted the importance of reaching a solution to the Syrian war, pointing following a joint press conference with his Lebanese counterpart Gebran Bassil that "the Lebanese people managed to overcome political obstacles in order to build a better future for their country," the National News Agency (NNA) reported.

For his part, Bassil said that Lebanon and Germany agreed on the fight against terrorism and the need to prevent its funding resources.

He hailed Berlin's "important role in ensuring stability and security that could only be anchored through the eradication of terrorism".

"Lebanon suffers from a shortage of resources while it is receiving the largest number of refugees," Bassil said, thanking Germany for its help in this context.

Steinmeier arrived in Beirut on Friday and held a meeting with President Michel Aoun at the presidential palace.

Aoun described the Lebanese-German relations as excellent "because both countries work for the sake of accomplishing peace in the Middle East through adopting fair political solutions."
