Aoun: Current Circumstances Require Speeding Up Govt. Formation

President Michel Aoun on Monday stressed the need to speed up the formation of the new government amid the current circumstances in Lebanon and the region.

The National News Agency said Aoun followed up on the formation efforts throughout the day and received a series of phone calls.

During the phone talks, the president emphasized “the need to resolve the obstacles that have so far prevented the formation of the cabinet, especially in light of the stances that have been voiced by the parties concerned.”

“The current circumstances require speeding up the formation of the government and putting the higher national interest above all else,” Aoun added.
