Berri Says Dialogue is Slow but Can be Counted on

Speaker Nabih Berri has told Special Envoy for the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1559 Terje Roed-Larsen that the national dialogue is causing stability in Lebanon despite being “slow.”

“The dialogue is a factor of stability and there is progress in it,” Berri told him in a phone conversation, according to al-Joumhouria daily published on Monday.

“Despite recording a slow progress, it can be counted on,” he said.

Their conversation took place on Sunday when Roed-Larsen telephoned him to inquire about the path that the dialogue is taking.

The all-party talks kicked off last month under the chairmanship of Speaker Nabih Berri.

The next session is scheduled to be held on October 26.
