Suleiman: Lebanon in Dire Need for Dialogue
President Michel Suleiman on Friday stressed that “Lebanon is in a dire need for dialogue among its components” amid the extraordinary circumstances the Arab region is going through.
Separately, the president called on the state to shoulder its responsibilities in providing employment opportunities for the newly-graduated students and to keep them away from the political distribution of shares.
Suleiman has called on the rival political parties to engage in a national dialogue over the divisive issues.
Although the opposition March 14 camp has welcomed Suleiman’s call, it is insisting that the agenda should be limited to discussing a sole topic: Hizbullah’s controversial arsenal of weapons.
The armed party has also voiced its support for national dialogue, but it has stressed that its arms were not a subject for debate.
