Berri: Dialogue is Not a Cover-up for Cabinet, it Belongs to Whole of Lebanon

Speaker Nabih Berri renewed on Wednesday the importance of dialogue in Lebanon, especially under the current circumstances in the region.

He said before MPs during his weekly meeting at parliament: “Lebanon is not isolated from the rest of the region and we should not hesitate in implementing any step that would help fortify it.”

He also rejected claims the national dialogue is a cover-up for the government, stressing that it belongs to the whole of Lebanon and not one party against the other.

The speaker added that parliament will follow up on the government’s actions as it has always done.

In addition, Berri and the Parliament's Bureau Committee set 48 articles to be discussed during the parliamentary sessions on August 3 and 4.
