BEIRUT (Reuters) – Lebanon’s Prime Minister-designate Mustapha Adib said he had agreed with President Michel Aoun on Thursday to give more time for talks on forming a new government after efforts to appoint a cabinet to lift the nation out of crisis faltered.
After a meeting at the presidential palace, Adib said he knew there was no time to waste and hoped all sides would cooperate. “We hope it will go well,” he told reporters.
