Salam Discusses Government Formation Efforts with Hariri in France
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةPrime Minister-designate Tammam Salam held talks in Paris on Thursday with former Premier Saad Hariri, reported Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5).
It said that the discussions focused on the efforts to form a new government.
Hariri also threw a luncheon banquet in Salam's honor.
The PM-designate then traveled from the French capital to Geneva.
Since his appointment in April, Salam has been facing conditions and counter-conditions set by the rival March 8 and March 14 alliances over the formation of a new cabinet.
An Nahar daily on Monday reported that head of al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc ex-PM Fouad Saniora arrived in Paris on Sunday for talks with Hariri.
Who would miss a face to face meeting with a great mind such as cheikh Saad al-Habi Telteyn al-Marajil's?
Well this is a new development ... just the other day Hariri had no plans to meet Suleiman ... and now a banquet in Salam's honor! Perhaps Saad is finally getting the message that the Mustaqbal positions on returning to parliament and cabinet formation are not received well in Lebanon.
One has to ask the burning question on everyone's mind.
Should the politicians of Lebanon, not be discussing Lebanese issues on Lebanese soil?
Oh how I pity the nation
