Aoun Meets Jumblat in Beirut's Clemenceau

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun held talks on Tuesday with Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat at his residence in Clemenceau.

The two officials held a bilateral meeting behind closed doors.

A statement is expected to be issued at the end of their meeting.

Aoun's unannounced visit came as the country is struggling with an almost year-long presidential vacuum in light of the parliament's failure to elect a successor for Michel Suleiman, which is having repercussions on the country's economy and political life.
