BEIRUT: A meeting between Lebanon’s rival Christian leaders Samir Geagea and Michel Aoun is now achievable, said MP Ibrahim Kanaan.
“The bilateral meeting between the two men has become possible, even though no date has yet been set,” said Kanaan, from Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement.
"There is a communication path with the Lebanese Forces in pursuit of a common vision about the core issues regarding the stalled presidential election and the general situation in Lebanon,” Kanaan told a local radio station.
“Whatever the differences and rivalry between the Christian parties, it is important not to wrangle over constitutional rights,” he added.
Kanaan said the FPM hopes to reach a “joint work ground to organize the relations, given that the Lebanese Forces and the FPM enjoy the largest Christian representation with different proportions.”
The two parties are working on holding a meeting between Geagea and Aoun in a bid to end the presidential impasse, now in its seventh month.
