Berri: I am Reassured by All the Saudi King and Syrian President's Efforts

House Speaker Nabih Berri stressed on Thursday the ongoing cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Syria, voicing his concern however with claims that contacts between the two sides had subsided.

He told the daily An Nahar Thursday that he is comforted with the efforts of Saudi King Abdullah and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying that they wish Lebanon well.

As Safir meanwhile reported on Thursday that Berri's meeting with Assad on Wednesday was "very positive".

It reported sources close to Berri as saying that the Saudi-Syrian ties are solid and are in constant development.

The debates in Lebanon do not reflect the current state of affairs between Riyadh and Damascus and here lies the Lebanese responsibility to take advantage of the regional situation to fortify their internal scene and protect it from impending dangers, they added.
