NNA - MP Mohammad Raad on Thursday highlighted Hezbollah's keenness on its relation with the Free Patriotic Movement, stressing the importance of approaching the various affairs through dialogue.

"This collaborative relationship created a suitable climate for building the project of the state in accordance with the provisions of the National Accord Document," said Raad following a meeting with former president Michel Aoun in Rabieh.

"In four days, we will commemorate the establishment of this relationship, which was entrenched on February 6, 2006, in the Mar Mkhayel Church," added the head of the "Loyalty to Resistance" parliamentary bloc.

"We stress our determination and keenness to maintain this relation on the bases which General Michel Aoun contributed to laying, namely honesty, clarity, and bravery in approaching the various files through serious dialogue and mutual understanding, away from noise and hype," he said.

On his visit to Rabieh, Raad was accompanied by MPs Hussein Hajj Hassan, Amine Cherri, Ali Ammar and Hassan Fadlallah.
