National Dialogue to Be Re-launched Soon as Suleiman Awaits Success of Saudi-Syrian Initiative

All-party talks will be re-launched soon following a success in consultations carried out by President Michel Suleiman at Baabda palace, An Nahar newspaper reported Saturday.

The daily quoted Baabda palace visitors as saying that Suleiman did not ask Lebanese officials with whom he held consultations about their opinion on putting the issue of false witnesses on the agenda of the national dialogue.

The president asked the leaders about ways to bring back internal stability and help state institutions resume their functions, according to An Nahar.

Suleiman’s major objective is to consolidate understanding among the Lebanese and follow-up the Saudi-Syrian initiative to guarantee its success in solving the crisis gripping the country, the newspaper said.

Ministerial sources also confirmed to pan-Arab daily al-Hayat that Suleiman did not call for transferring the false witnesses issue from cabinet to all-party talks. On the contrary, the president believes that discussing the issue at the national dialogue could lead to an understanding on how to solve the problem.
