UN envoy Terje Roed-Larsen said toady he expected Syria to provide a firm timetable for a total troop withdrawal from Lebanon as demanded by a Security Council resolution.
"I'm looking forward for a good dialogue and of course I expect that we will get commitments and timetables for a full implementation of (resolution) 1559," Mr Roed-Larsen told reporters in Amman after meeting Jordan's Foreign Minister Hani Mulki.
The envoy said he would meet Lebanese and Syrian officials over the next two days after what he said were intensive talks among the international community on the importance of implementing the UN resolution.
"We in the UN are not in the business of coming up with threats ... There is a broad consensus in the international community about these issues, and on that basis I am proceeding to Beirut and Damascus," Mr Roed-Larsen said.
The resolution, passed in September, calls for foreign troops to leave Lebanon but does not specify a date. US President George W. Bush has demanded that Syria pulls its troops out of Lebanon before parliamentary elections there in May.
Earlier today, almost all Syrian troops left north Lebanon, ending an unbroken 29-year presence and underlining Syria's diminishing role in its small neighbour.
Syrian troops also continued to return home or move eastwards from the Beirut area in line with a phased withdrawal plan agreed this week amid intense global pressure on Damascus to lift its military and political grip on Lebanon.
Lebanon's defence minister has said the first phase of the withdrawal plan, which calls for a Syrian pullback to the eastern Bekaa Valley, will be completed next week. Beirut and Damascus will then decide how long any Syrian troops remain.
The UN resolution demands a full Syrian withdrawal, the disarming of militias and free elections.
Syrian forces first entered Lebanon in 1976 early in the civil war. Their numbers have declined to 14,000 from a peak of 40,000, but they had never before left positions in the north.
