Hizbullah, Mustaqbal Agree on Need to 'Activate Institutions, Boost Stability'

Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal movement agreed Wednesday on the need to activate state institutions and preserve stability in the country.

“The conferees agreed to activate the work of institutions, follow up on the measures that can boost domestic stability, and support the efforts of the military and security institutions as they seek to protect the country and its citizens,” the two parties said in a joint statement issued after their 26th dialogue session in Ain al-Tineh.

Dialogue between the two parties was about to get suspended in recent weeks amid a war of words between them that is linked to the Saudi-Iranian tensions in the region and unprecedented Saudi measures against Lebanon and Hizbullah.

Speaker Nabih Berri has reportedly exerted major efforts to convince the two parties to maintain their bilateral talks.

The two parties have several times reiterated that their dialogue is mainly aimed at defusing sectarian tensions in the country.
