House Speaker, Nabih Berri, said on Wednesday that political, security and financial stability is the responsibility of all parties, stressing that he will never allow any division or disintegration in the country.

Visiting deputies within the weekly "Wednesday Gathering" relayed Speaker Berri's emphasis on the need for having a comprehensive and inclusive reconciliation in the context of the Aley's Qabr Shmoun incident, in preparation for holding the cabinet meetings.

As per the Speaker, the ongoing tension and escalation did not serve the interests of the country, calling on all parties concerned to be aware of the delicate situation in the country, notably that he has ceased his political initiative to contain the fallout from the Qabr Shmoun incident. 

On the other hand, Berri met with former MP Imad El Hout, with talks reportedly touching on the general situation. 

Berri also met with British Ambassador to Lebanon, Chris Rampling, with talks touching on the recent political and economic developments in the country.
