Suleiman to Host Ramadan Dinner for All Political Parties
President Michel Suleiman will invite all political figures and movements to a Ramadan dinner on September 1 at Baabda Palace and will call on them "to find common grounds" in order to form a government, Ad-Diyar daily reported Saturday.
For its part, An Nahar newspaper quoted an official source that Suleiman and interim Prime Minister Fouad Saniora discussed ways to activate the work of the caretaker government but agreed not to change the "course on which matters are being handled currently."
Suleiman has been meeting regularly with the interim ministers for updates on progress in their ministries.
The two leaders agreed to support the efforts of premier-designate Saad Hariri to form a new government.
