The head of the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc former Prime Minister Fouad Saniora stated that the bloc supports national dialogue, but on condition that it have a purpose and be able to achieve its goals.

He told An Nahar daily in remarks published on Sunday: “This matter calls for restricting the talks to addressing Hizbullah’s possession of arms according to the dialogue that was held in March 2006.”

This entails setting a deadline to achieving this goal, as well as the participation of the Arab League based on previous agreements.

He made his statements in light of holding talks on Saturday with President Michel Suleiman.

Saniora said that the president is currently invested in garnering opinions over the national dialogue from all political camps, “and for our part, we support dialogue that has goals and not just holding talks for the sake of it.”

Meanwhile, Baabda Palace sources told the daily that resuming dialogue is aimed at allowing Lebanon to overcome this current phase and reach understanding among Lebanese.
