Hariri Receives Cables from World Leaders

Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri has received cables greeting him on the occasion of the new year from a number of world leaders, his office said on Monday.

The most notable ones came from U.S. President Donald Trump, U.N. chief Antonio Guterres, King Abdullah II of Jordan, South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon, Norwegian Premier Erna Solberg and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

Hariri was tasked with forming a new government on May 24.

His mission has so far been hindered by consecutive hurdles related to Christian, Druze and Sunni representation but the PM-designate has expressed optimism that all parties want the new government to be formed in early 2019.
