Bukhari meets Berri, urges quick election of president
Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari on Wednesday held talks in Ain el-Tineh with Speaker Nabih Berri.
“The Saudi stance emphasizes the need to speed up the election of a president for the Lebanese republic who would be able to achieve the aspirations of the brotherly Lebanese people,” Bukhari said after the meeting.
The National News Agency said the talks tackled “the general situations, the political developments and the bilateral relations between Lebanon and the kingdom.”
Earlier in the day, Berri had called for unity in order to “finalize our national junctures, rescue Lebanon, protect it and immunize it against existential threats.”
“Through unity no force in the world would be able to defeat Lebanon, while through divisions and fragmentation we would be subjecting the country to numerous dangers,” the Speaker added.
