Mustaqbal-Hizbullah Dialogue Makes 'Serious Progress' on Security, Political Files

Al-Mustaqbal movement and Hizbullah announced Monday after their seventh dialogue session that they made "serious progress" regarding the security and political issues in the country.

“Discussions were continued and serious progress was made over the security and political files,” said a terse joint statement that was issued after the talks in Ain al-Tineh.

Earlier on Monday, Hizbullah-affiliated al-Manar television said the dialogue session could tackle the issue of the presidential vacuum.

Future TV meanwhile said two topics were on the session's agenda – “defusing tensions” and the “presidential void.”

Dialogue between the two parties had kicked off on December 23, 2014.

In their sixth talks session on February 18, Mustaqbal and Hizbullah said they explored means to find a “national anti-terror strategy,” amid a continued dispute between them over the state's role in such a plan of action.
