President Michel Aoun held talks Friday afternoon in Baabda with Prime Minister Najib Miqati.
Speaking after the talks, Miqati said Aoun requested the meeting to discuss his call for holding a national dialogue conference.
“I informed him of my opinion and the discussions will be continued later,” the premier added.
In a speech on December 27, the President had proposed “urgent” national dialogue over a host of key issues, mainly “broad administrative and financial decentralization, a defense strategy to protect Lebanon, and a financial and economic recovery plan that would include the necessary reforms and a fair distribution of losses.”
