Miqati: Given Current Division, We Have No Choice But to Return to Dialogue
Prime Minister Najib Miqati stressed on Monday that the Lebanese parties have no choice but to return to dialogue given the current division in the country.
He said: “All sides should participate in the dialogue because the failure to do so means that the problems will be transferred elsewhere.”
He added that his visit to southern Lebanon over the weekend was aimed at voicing support for the Lebanese army and international agreements.
Moreover, he added that he will not head on an Arab tour before a number of internal matters are resolved.
The Prime Minister also revealed that the government is in the process of preparing a draft law on the demarcation of the maritime borders.
On a defense strategy for Lebanon, Miqati was quoted as saying by the deputy head of the editors Syndicate Saeed Nassereddine that efforts are ongoing to reach a strong strategy that would be able to defend the country.
Addressing the campaigns against the government, the premier stated: “I will not get embroiled in any debates with anyone.”
