Aoun Meets Khoury, Discusses Cabinet Formation Process
President Michel Aoun received caretaker Culture Minister Ghattas Khoury at the Baabda Palace where talks focused on the Cabinet formation process and several other issues, the National News Agency reported on Saturday.
“Negotiations will intensify in the upcoming hours, particularly following the consultations held between the President and Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri about the government formation,” said Khoury after the meeting.
Khoury pinned hopes on what he described as “positive atmospheres” that could fall in the interest of the formation process. Noting that “some initiatives could be made in the few coming days.”
The formation process faces some obstacles regarding the representation of the Lebanese Forces party, the Druze share and the representation of the Sunni opposition.
Aoun and Khoury also reportedly touched on the current political situation.
