“What’s important is that the concerned officials have taken a political decision to form the government, and accordingly any pending details will be resolved,” the sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Monday.

Ministerial sources meanwhile told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that “following PM-designate Najib Mikati’s from abroad and parliament’s meeting to approve the state budget on Monday, Mikati is expected to meet with President Michel Aoun on Tuesday.”
