Miqati Urges Cooperation with Govt., Truth in Port Blast Case

Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Thursday called on all Lebanese to “cooperate with the government in its clear and difficult mission,” which is to “halt the collapse and work on finalizing a recovery plan that puts Lebanon on the course of stability.”

He added that the government “will oversee the organization of timely elections” seeing as it is “a chance for change,” noting that “launching a national program for economic recovery after completing the talks with the IMF would put the country on the track of strategic recovery.”

Turning to the issue of the Beirut port blast, the premier described it as an “earthquake” that caused “tragedies,” adding that the wounds “will not heal before the truth is fully uncovered.”
