New Cabinet Policy Statement Almost Accomplished, Names and Portfolios not Tackled
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun said Saturday that the new government”s Policy Statement is almost accomplished which saves one month of its actual duties time after its formation.
"Discussions with PM-designate Saad Hariri did not tackle cabinet ministers names or portfolios," said Aoun in an interview aired by Al-Jadeed TV network.
Aoun stressed the importance of forming a national unity government in a fair and comprehensive manner hinting at a close meeting with Hariri without revealing its exact date.
Regarding the Syrian-Saudi summit, Aoun welcomed the two Arab countries rapprochement denying the idea that Arabs agreeing on a national unity government in Lebanon is considered as an external interference in Lebanon”s internal issues.
