Berri Meets Riachi in Ain el-Tineh

Speaker Nabih Berri welcomed on Saturday in his Ain el-Tineh residence caretaker Minister of Information Melhem Riachi, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The two men reportedly discussed the general situation in the country and the headway of the government formation process.

Lebanon is still struggling with forming a new government since the designation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri in May.

Hariri’s mission has been delayed since amid wrangling between political parties over Cabinet shares and quotas.
