They discussed the means "to preserve the unity, security and stability" of Lebanon at the meeting in Damascus, it said.
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), probing the 2005 assassination, is reportedly poised to issue indictments against members of Hezbollah.
Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the powerful Shiite militant group which is backed by Tehran and Damascus, has warned it would "cut off the hand" of anyone who tried to arrest any of its members.
Nasrallah's speech was the latest move in an increasingly heated Hezbollah campaign to fend off the anticipated accusation against high-ranking members.
He has also warned that further Lebanese cooperation with the court would be tantamount to an attack on his group. But Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri -- son of the murdered ex-premier -- has vowed to see the tribunal through.
On Sunday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said his country and Saudi Arabia were coordinating efforts to ease tensions in Lebanon.
