Suleiman Stresses Importance of Unity and Government that Solves Social Problems

President Michel Suleiman stressed on Monday the importance of preserving national unity and security to consolidate the democratic atmosphere that Lebanon enjoys.

A statement released by his press office said Suleiman told his visitors that the future cabinet should confront the latest challenges and solve social and administrative problems.

The governmental work should help state institutions function, he said.

Caretaker Minister Adnan al-Qassar, who visited Suleiman on Monday, said that the president will continue to play the role of the arbiter among bickering Lebanese politicians.

“He hasn’t saved an effort in achieving internal consensus,” Qassar said about the president.
