Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will make a brief visit to Lebanon next Monday for talks with President Michel Sleiman on relations and the plight of Palestinian refugees, officials said on Thursday.

A Lebanese official who did not wish to be identified told AFP that during Monday's visit Abbas will also discuss the Middle East peace process and the rebuilding of the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon destroyed in 2007.

A Palestinian official in the West Bank town of Ramallah, where Abbas has his headquarters, confirmed the visit speaking on condition of anonymity.
