The members of the International Support Group for Lebanon welcomed the cabinet formation and congratulated Prime Minister Saad Hariri and his cabinet, a statement said Monday.
“The members of the ISG hope that the positive momentum created with the election of a president and the formation of a government can be maintained and capitalized on. This is a much-needed opportunity for the Lebanese leadership to reactivate state institutions and fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the Lebanese people, by addressing the urgent challenges Lebanon faces,” said the statement.
“The members of the ISG stress the importance of the timely holding of parliamentary elections in order to keep up with Lebanon’s democratic tradition. They also stress the importance for domestic and regional stability, of Lebanon’s continued commitment to relevant UN Security Council resolutions, including resolution 1701 (2006), the Taif Accords, the Baabda Declaration, and other international obligations,” added the statement.
They look forward to the swift adoption of the new government’s ministerial statement and stand ready to work closely in partnership with the new Government in support of Lebanon’s stability, sovereignty and state institutions.
