Berri Says Government Formation Process Begins to Heat Up
Speaker Nabih Berri has unveiled that the cabinet formation process began heating up but stressed that he won’t make any statement before guaranteeing that the government lineup received the consent of all parties.
Berri made the remark to An Nahar newspaper following his meeting with Premier-designate Najib Miqati on Thursday night.
Sources following up the cabinet formation consultations told As Safir daily that the talks between Miqati and Berri along with the latter’s assistant, MP Ali Hassan Khalil, were an opportunity to hear the results of Khalil’s meetings with officials in Damascus.
The lawmaker and the Hizbullah leader’s advisor, Hussein Khalil, visited the Syrian capital on Wednesday.
During their meeting on Thursday, Berri stressed to Miqati on the need to immediately end the deadlock to guarantee the quick formation of a government that is capable of facing all challenges, As Safir said.
