Speaker of the House, Nabih Berri, received, at his Ain-el-Tineh residence on Tuesday, MP Wael Abu Faour, delegated by Democratic Gathering Head, MP Walid Jumblatt.

"Both Berri and Jumblatt agree over the necessity to respect the constitutional and legal procedures, as well as the principles of competence and balance, while making all the decisions, especially those related to key institutions that guarantee civil peace, such as the military institution," Abu Faour told reporters following the meeting.

Separately, Berri met with Head of National Dialogue Party, Fouad Makhzoumi.

He also welcomed General Security Chief, General Abbas Ibrahim, and the government's commissioner before the UNIFIL, General Malek Shamas.

Berri later held talks over the current situation with former Deputy Speaker Elie Ferezli.

On a different note, Berri called UK Ambassador to Lebanon, Hugo Shorter, to whom he paid condolences following the killing of British diplomat Rebecca Dykes
