BEIRUT: The head of the U.N.’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon met separately with Prime Minister Tammam Salam and Speaker Nabih Berri Thursday, a statement said.

UNIFIL commander Maj. Gen. Luciano Portolano discussed with Salam and Berri U.N. Security Council resolution 1701 and issues "related to the last tripartite meeting" which took place earlier this month between representatives of the Lebanese Army, UNIFIL and the Israeli army, UNIFIL said.

"We had very productive meetings and exchanged views in taking concrete steps on a number of outstanding issues towards the implementation of UNSCR 1701," Portolano said in the statement.
