Salam meets Berri, says atmosphere good after Barrack's visit

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met Tuesday in Ain el-Tineh with Speaker Nabih Berri to discuss the general situations, the political and military developments and the outcome of U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s visit to Lebanon, the National News Agency said.

Responding to a reporter’s question about Barrack’s visit, Salam tersely said: “Speaker Berri’s words yesterday were enough to answer this question and the atmosphere is good.”

Berri, a Hezbollah ally, said Monday that his meeting with Barrack was “good, constructive and very keen on Lebanon’s interest and sovereignty and the concerns of all Lebanese, as well as on Hezbollah’s demands.”
