Local Editor
Hizbullah and the Future movement on Monday stressed their "firm support" for the Lebanese army in its fight against terrorist groups, following deadly weekend clashes against terrorist groups in Ras Baalbek's outskirts.
"The conferees underlined their firm stance on supporting the army and security forces through all means in their efforts to confront terrorism and protect Lebanon," said a statement issued by the two parties after their fourth dialogue session in Ain al-Tineh.
In their statement, the two parties also hailed "the dialogue's positive progress and the impact it has left on the public opinion."
They also agreed to take "some practical steps that can boost the atmosphere of stability."
Dialogue between the two parties had kicked off on December 23, 2014.
Following the third session on January 16, the conferees declared that they had made "clear progress" that might lead to results that can help "consolidate national stability."
The meeting was held against the backdrop of last week's fierce clashes between the Army and "ISIL" militants on the outskirts of the village of Ras Baalbek near Lebanon's eastern border with Syria.
As in past sessions, Future was represented by Nader Hariri, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri's chief of staff, Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk and Future MP Samir Jisr.
Hizbullah was represented by Haj Hussein Khalil, the political aide to Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, Industry Minister Hussein Hajj Hasan and MP Hasan Fadlallah. Finance Minister Ali Hasan Khalil, a political aide to House Speaker Nabih Berri, also attended.
