Berri Expresses Satisfaction with Mustaqbal-Hizbullah Talks, Hopes for More Rounds

Speaker Nabih Berri voiced on Wednesday his satisfaction with the dialogue between the Mustaqbal Movement and Hizbullah that was held on Tuesday.

He hoped that the talks would be expanded to include other forces.

He also looked forward to a second round of the talks between the movement and party.

The speaker made his remarks during his weekly meeting with lawmakers at his Ain al-Tineh residence.

“The Mustaqbal-Hizbullah dialogue is encouraging and we hope that it will reflect on the country,” Berri added.

“We look forward for an expanded dialogue that would meet aspirations and achieve goals that serve all the Lebanese,” he stated.

“Only dialogue can bolster consensus and unity,” he declared before MPs.

The dialogue between the two sides kicked off on Tuesday under the speaker's sponsorship.

The gatherers stated after the meeting that they are prepared for “serious and responsible talks over various issues.”

They also emphasized that the dialogue is not aimed at creating a new political alignment in the country.
