Jumblat Meets Hariri at the Grand Serail

Progressive Socialist Party leader ex-MP Walid Jumblat held talks Monday at the Grand Serail with Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who has resumed his official functions after undergoing a heart stent procedure in Paris.

Jumblat was accompanied by his son MP Taymour Jumblat and Industry Minister Wael Abu Faour.

Hariri's office said the visit was aimed at “inquiring about the premier's health” and involved “a discussion of the political developments and general situations.”

MTV meanwhile reported that the meeting might have tackled the issue of appointments, noting that Jumblat is seeking to name a deputy central bank governor from the Druze community.
