Raad further stated that here lies the importance of the memorandum of understanding between the Free Patriotic Movement and Hizbullah.

He added, "We are now in front of a new stage in politics, and this comes as a result of the piling up of the many struggles".

MP Raad pointed out that the most important of what happened, in light of the memorandum of understating, is creating a chance to build a strong country to confront threats and foreign assaults.

Raad stated that those who feel the importance of sovereignty towards their country are the only ones to exactly know the meaning of sacrificing for their country.

On his part, Head of Youth and Students Affairs committee in the Free Patriotic Movement, Mario Chamoun, praised the special relation between the students of Hizbullah and the Free Patriotic Movement in universities, in addition to the tight relation between their representatives.

Chamoun confirmed that this is due to the joint memorandum of understanding, adding that when they meet with Hizbullah officials, it is as if they meet with their officials, for their perspectives and goals are one.

The Free Patriotic Movement representative said that there was some kind of harmony between both parties' students in universities, which was later enhanced after the signing of the understanding memorandum.
