Hizbullah, Mustaqbal Urge Maintaining Dialogue among Parties to Speed Up 'National Agreements'

Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal movement stressed Monday the need for maintaining the ongoing dialogue among various parties in the country in order to “reach national agreements as soon as possible.”

“Discussions tackled the political developments, especially those related to the constitutional junctures,” said a joint statement issued by the two parties after their 21st dialogue session in Ain al-Tineh.

The conferees underlined the importance of “maintaining the ongoing dialogues in order to speed up the possibility of reaching national agreements,” the terse statement added.

The bilateral talks come amid calls for a so-called national political settlement which have been voiced by several parties, including Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and al-Mustaqbal movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri.

The country is witnessing a flurry of political talks between parties from both the March 14 and March 8 camps.

The new momentum followed a meeting that was held in Paris between Hariri and Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh.

Hariri has also met in Paris with Progressive Socialist Party chief MP Walid Jumblat and Kataeb Party leader MP Sami Gemayel.

The Franjieh-Hariri meeting has sparked intense speculation that they agreed to the nomination of the Marada chief as president.
