A Ministerial committee trying to draft a policy statement for the new cabinet on Tuesday discussed "new versions" apparently related to the controversial issue of Hizbullah”s weapons and its resistance, but said it needs more time for consultations.
Information Minister Tareq Mitri told reporters after the three-hour meeting at the Grand Serail "We haven”t accomplished our mission and we need some time more for further consultations."
However, Mitri added, "we are progressing on the proper path and we would meet against at 5pm tomorrow."
The committee held its 11th session amidst reported efforts by President Michel Suleiman to reconcile contradicting viewpoints regarding Hizbullah weapons and its resistance.
