Suleiman Satisfied with Cabinet Performance, Says Duty of Everyone to Support it
President Michel Suleiman has expressed satisfaction with the cabinet’s performance saying it was the duty of all parties to support it in its efforts to meet the people’s demands.
Suleiman has told his visitors that the government was in harmony and was not witnessing clashes between the different parties. The cabinet should be described as centrist although it expresses a one-sided viewpoint.
Premier Najib Miqati’s government is working in the interest of all Lebanese, he told his visitors, according to al-Liwaa daily published Friday.
His visitors also told al-Binaa newspaper that it was “the duty of all parties to support this cabinet so that it could meet the people’s demands.”
“Its success depends on how it would deal with files linked to social and livelihood issues,” Suleiman told the visitors.
On the issue of appointments to state positions, the president stressed the importance of only appointing “efficient” people. “This way we could pump a new blood into most administrations which would reflect positively on serving citizens.”
The president said only dialogue would solve differences among the Lebanese. “The barriers between the March 8 and 14 teams should not remain amid the dangers that this country is witnessing.”
Suleiman is currently hearing the viewpoints of the different parties before resuming the dialogue sessions which should not be preconditioned, the visitors said.
