France calls for Lebanese government capable of carrying out reforms
The election of a new Lebanese president turns a new page for the country and must now be followed by the appointment of a new government capable of carrying out reforms, France’s Foreign Ministry says.
Foreign ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine says that a new government will have to carry out reforms necessary for Lebanon’s economic recovery, stability, security and sovereignty, and added that France calls on all Lebanese political leaders and authorities to work toward those goals.
