Lebanon: Nasrallah, Hariri meet to boost cooperation

The leaders of Hezbollah and the rival al-Mustaqbal party have held a meeting in order to enhance political cooperation.  Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Saad Hariri conversed about the prospects of the next Lebanese cabinet during the Thursday night’s meeting.     

The Lebanese parliamentary election which was held in early June was high on the agenda. The two leaders also discussed the aftermath of the parliamentary poll.

According to Press TV’s Beirut correspondent Ali Rizk, Hariri stressed dialogue during the meeting.

The correspondent further added that according to sources, Hariri is set to be Lebanon’s Prime Minister.

The meeting was held three weeks after Lebanon’s parliamentary election in which all Hezbollah candidates won a seat in the country’s Parliament.

The Hariri-led coalition, however, managed to win 71 of the 128 contested parliamentary seats.
