Salam stressed the necessity of establishing a clear timeline for implementing mutual commitments and setting up a verification mechanism based on the principles of reciprocity and phased implementation.
The discussion also addressed the importance of continuing US support for the Lebanese Army to enable it to perform its duties and extend state authority over all its territory, alongside supporting the path of return, recovery, and reconstruction in areas affected by the war.
