Berri tells US delegation no time to waste in border demarcation file

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday warned a U.S. delegation against any further delay in the U.S.-mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel to demarcate their maritime border.

“There is no more time for procrastination and delay in the demarcation of the sea boundary and for allowing the companies that won the tenders to start their work,” Berri told a delegation from the American Task Force for Lebanon, which was accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea.

“There is no justification at all for this delay or prohibition,” Berri added.
