Prime Minister Najib Mikati told Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet during their meeting on Thursday evening that the investigation into the case of the seven Estonians who were freed after a kidnap ordeal of four months will continue until all details are clarified, the National News Agency reported.
Mikati congratulated Paet for the release of the seven Estonians and commended the relevant Lebanese authorities, particularly the Internal Security Forces.
The premier also thanked France for taking part in resolving the case, adding that the incident will not affect relations between Lebanon and Estonia.
Paet, in turn, thanked the Lebanese authorities, prime minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs Adnan Mansour and many other Lebanese officials who contributed to resolving the matter.
Paet arrived in Beirut on Thursday evening to accompany the released tourists home.
The men, in their 30s and early 40s, were kidnapped at gunpoint on March 23 while on a cycling holiday in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, after arriving from neighboring Syria.
A police official in Lebanon told AFP they were released Thursday morning in the Bekaa Valley town of Sahel al-Taybi.
