European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton on Tuesday called on Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati to seek the "broadest possible consensus" in forming his government.

"I trust that the formation of the government will take place in full compliance with the constitution. The Prime Minister-designate should seek the broadest possible consensus in forming his government, which is in the interest of the Lebanese people," Ashton said.

"I expect that the new government will continue to respect Lebanon's international obligations," she added.
