Hariri Calls for the Quick Formation of a Consensual Government

Nasr al-Hariri, Secretary General of the Syrian Coalition, calls upon the interim government’s president-designate Ahmad Tomeh to present the cabinet lineup as soon as possible, stressing the need to avoid the mistakes that marred the performance of the previous interim government. Hariri also calls for forming a consensual government, pointing out that the new government’s top priority should be moving into Syria and stepping up the projects to serve the Syrian people. The meeting, which was also attended by members of the Syrian Coalition, discussed the consultations carried out by Tomeh since he was re-elected as interim prime minister. Tomeh said he would present his cabinet lineup within a month of his re-election. He won the elections held by the General Assembly, securing 63 votes out of 65. (Source: Syrian Coalition)
