Caretaker Information Minister Melhem Riachy said after his meeting with MP Ibrahim Kanaan and Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros Rai in Diman that they informed the Patriarch about the importance of the reconciliation between the Lebanese Forces and the Free Patriotic Movement which is emphasized by LF chief Samir Geagea and caretaker Minister Gebran Bassil.
Riachy reassured that the reconciliation remains in place and what is happening was a difference in views and will not turn into a conflict in any form, pointing out that they received calls refusing the downfall of the strategic agreement.
For his part, Kanaan affirmed that the reconciliation is sacred for the Free Patriotic Movement but they did not become one political party, stressing that they will preserve the diversity and the government will be formed.
