Miqati Wraps Up Protocol Visits to Former PMs by Meeting Hariri
Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati concluded his protocol visits to past prime ministers by meeting former premier Saad Hariri at the Center House on Wednesday.
The meeting lasted five minutes and the two men made no statements afterwards.
Throughout the day, Miqati met with former PMs Rashid al-Solh, Michel Aoun, Omar Karami, and Fouad Saniora.
The prime minister-designate chose to keep mum over the talks held during the meetings and over the formation of a new government, but As Safir predicted on Wednesday that his priority would lie in convincing Hariri to participate in a national unity government after he had announced his refusal to take part in a government headed by an opposition-backed premier.
Should he refuse, then Miqati is likely to form a technocrat government.
