إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A meeting was held Monday night between officials from the Progressive Socialist Party and Hizbullah at the residence of Public Works and Transport Minister Ghazi Aridi, during which the conferees agreed to “activate the government's work,” Hizbullah's al-Manar television reported.

The talks relaunched the "coordination meetings" between the two parties and "the conferees will meet again regardless of the circumstances," said al-Manar.

The four-hour meeting was attended on Hizbullah's side by State Minister Mohammed Fneish, Agriculture Minister Hussein Hajj Hasan, MP Hasan Fadlallah and security apparatus chief Wafiq Safa, according to the TV network.

Aridi, Displaced Persons Minister Alaeddine Terro and MP Akram Shehayyeb represented the PSP.

The meeting tackled the "bilateral ties" between the two parties and stressed the importance of "self-dissociation" towards the Syrian crisis, al-Manar reported.

The two sides also agreed on the need to “tone down the political rhetoric and deal rationally” with the developments.

“We agreed on certain things and disagreed on other things, but we stressed the need to refrain from interfering in the Syrian crisis,” Aridi told al-Manar.

“We discussed the threats of sectarian strife and stressed the need to prevent it,” he added.

According to the minister, the two parties also discussed “the issue of the government, the economy, the living conditions, combating corruption and theft and activating the administration.”

M8 is trying to pretend to be a gov't now when it is too late. Start by telling the Shia to pay electricity instead of bankrupting the country. Why is Jumblatt speaking to an unelected black trubaned drug dealer in the picture? Although I heard Nassy has the best coke in the Middle East.

"The meeting......stressed the importance of "self-dissociation" towards the Syrian crisis," Blah blah blah!

HA will NOT call back their thugs from fighting alongside Bashar's troops in the same manner that they will NOT disarm!

The peoples of Lebanon had better reconcile their differences. After the US election the gloves will come off in the middle east. Without reconciliation only chaos and increasing violence await for Lebanon.

Look around the world. The entire global economy is headed for a cliff. The bankster plutocrats only option at this time is war and plenty of it. A stable Lebanon will spare the people of Lebanon much pain.

March 14, my compatriots, what's with Jumblat? He was so damn close to flipping to your side only to pull back! What happened, my friends? Has he lost his compass or have you, the pole of this earth, lost your magnetism? Could it be that the forces of backwardness and evil used their voodoo powers again? But here is my word of comfort, warriors: you still have Dr. Arreet 7akeh who, these days, has been reading minds while taking an unusual break from reading the future. ma7rous, inshallah!

To all those who comment on Naharnet,
You may wish to look at the CNN blog after the election results of the US presidency.
Notice how people from both republican and democrat sites are congratulating the president and calling him president of the whole country. Losers adimitting defeat and winners reassuring the losers that the president is for everyone.
There is not a single comment that is offensive, emotional or subjective.
I wish one day I can surf your comments on Naharnet and find the same level of maturity and political savvy that the Americans (which by no means are the best example in the World) have.

Funny what country we live in: a terrorist mafioso subdue a whole country at point blank, and bring a politician who lost his father at the hands of the mafioso allies (knowing he could be next on the target list of the very same terrorist he is meeting with) to discuss with him political coordination ! Is this called political wisdom or schizophrenia? Or is schizophrenia the only political wisdom available to the politicians in Lebanon??

Unity and reconciliation should be banned from the political lebanese dictionary. Those who have killed should be made to pay for their crime. History has shown that tribal reconciliation doesn't work. Only justice works. Let's take out 13 of those M8 pri.ks, either through the STL, or match the fireworks they are so good at, to be level with them. Then there will be a negotiating table.

jumblat is a professional politician with great ability to fluctuate without breaking his final goal,his latest stance is his standing in front of the wahabies(he told king abdalla:..he is still angry...we will wait till he is not...) he is playing from the top.
