Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati handed on Wednesday President Michel Aoun a line-up of the new government.
“I’ve handed President Aoun the cabinet line-up that I see fit,” National News Agency (NNA) quoted Mikati as saying following a meeting with President Aoun at Baabda presidential palace.
President Aoun will study the line-up and respond, Mikati added.
On Tuesday, Mikati concluded his parliamentary consultations with lawmakers regarding the formation of the upcoming government.
The premier-designate voiced hope that he could form a government “that can carry out its duty and deals with the issues of border demarcation with Israel, talks with the International Monetary Fund and deals with the electricity linkage with Egypt, Syria and Jordan.”
Mikati headed the last Lebanese government in September 2021 after a vacuum of 13 months. His government, however, turned into a caretaker capacity in May following the Lebanese parliamentary elections.
