UN welcomes 'brighter chapter' as crisis-hit Lebanon forms government
The United Nations welcomed the formation of a new government in Lebanon on Saturday, which ended more than two years under a caretaker cabinet.
"Today’s government formation heralds a new and brighter chapter for Lebanon," the office of the United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, said in a statement.
"The U.N. looks forward to working with the Government of Lebanon in its efforts to advance key reforms and consolidate security and stability through the full implementation of UNSCR 1701," it added.
