Lebanon Crucial Item on Saudi-Syrian Summit Agenda
Speaker Nabih Berri stressed the importance of the Saudi-Syrian summit on Wednesday saying the Lebanese should benefit from the meeting between Saudi King Abdullah and Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"The Lebanese file will be an essential and not secondary issue during this summit," MPs, who visited Berri as part of his weekly meetings, quoted him as saying.
"The Lebanese should benefit from this summit and the positive atmosphere," the speaker reportedly said, adding "nothing prevents cabinet formation" if the Lebanese take advantage of the situation.
Earlier, Berri visited President Michel Suleiman at Baabda palace. The National News Agency said the two men discussed latest developments, particularly efforts aimed at forming the government.
Berri then left without making any statement.
