President of the Higher Shiite Islamic Council Sheikh Abdel Amir Kabalan received at the Council's headquarters this afternoon Deputy head of the "Free Patriotic Movement", MP Nicolas Sehnawi, leading a delegation that included MPs Edgar Trabulsi, Edy Maalouf and Georges Atallah, as well as former Minister Gaby Layoun and Dr. Khalil Hamadeh, in the presence of Vice-President of the Council Sheikh Ali Al-Khatib, with talks touching on the overall situation in Lebanon and the region.
Speaking on behalf of the FPM delegation, Layoun said the meeting dwelled on the means to resolve the major crisis of displaced persons in Lebanon.
Layoun stressed the Syrian brothers' desire to return to their land. "There is no solution except for a safe and dignified return to their land," he said, underlining "the need to lift the major burden weighing on Lebanon and exceeding its ability to withstand."
"We are happy with the convergence of viewpoints on this subject. Sheikh Kabalan is keen that Lebanese unity should be the basis," he added, hoping that there will be no political division over this matter.
