BEIRUT: U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Derek Plumbly met with Speaker Nabih Berri in Beirut Thursday to discuss the country's ongoing challenges.
"Our discussions focused on the situation in Lebanon and regional developments. I welcomed the recent efforts, including those of Speaker Berri, to push for dialogue between political parties in Lebanon," Plumbly said in a statement released by his office.
"The speaker and I agreed that dialogue is necessary for strengthening Lebanon’s security, stability and coexistence and for moving forward on outstanding constitutional steps."
"We also discussed the ongoing efforts to agree on a parliamentary electoral law and I expressed the U.N.’s readiness to continue sharing best practices and provide technical support to those organizing the elections," the statement added.
Plumbly also said he voiced "the U.N.’s concern over the prolonged vacancy in the presidency" and the country's security situation.
