The presidency said on Saturday it had accepted the resignation of former caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and signed a decree with Salam to form the new cabinet of 24 ministers.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters at the presidential palace, Salam said the new government will be reform-driven, which is the only path to saving Lebanon, PressTV reported.<\/p>\n
The government will implement the 1989 Taif Agreement that ended the civil war in Lebanon, enact financial and economic reforms, and ensure an independent judiciary, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government must ensure security and stability by implementing (UN) Resolution 1701 and overseeing Israel’s withdrawal, in parallel with reconstruction efforts. This is not just a promise; it is a commitment,\u201d Salam pointed out.<\/p>\n
He went on to say\u00a0that the government will also work to restore confidence between Lebanon and the international community and rebuild trust between it and the youth.<\/p>\n
The Lebanese prime minister noted that he will work closely with President Joseph Aoun \u201cto launch a national reconstruction initiative for Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aoun, Lebanon’s former army chief,\u00a0was elected president of Lebanon on January 9, ending more than two years of a presidential vacuum that had paralyzed the country’s political system.<\/p>\n
A few days after his election, Salam, president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, was named Lebanon’s new prime minister and tasked with forming a new government.\u00a0<\/p>\n
