Mitri, talking to reporters after the meeting, said the draft stressed on "the principle of state unity as the sole authority in regulating the government's decisions, commitments and paths and would apply to all clauses of the policy statement."
He said the statement included a clause on the "right of Lebanon, its people, army and resistance to liberate or reclaim its land."
Mitri said some ministers tried to add to the clause the phrase "this right is to be practiced under the state wing" but it was not agreed on.
Cabinet Minister Nassib Lahoud, talking to reporters, said he expressed reservation over the clause related to the resistance because it did not include clear reference to the "army's right to resist."
Cabinet Minister Gibran Bassil said the draft included the topic of "refugees to Israel" and the missing Lebanese citizens.
Bassil also said a compromise "satisfactory to us and to Premier Fouad Siniora has been reached" regarding Paris-3.
