2^min

President of the Republic General Michel Aoun met with Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri on Thursday at Baabda Palace.

Following the meeting, Hariri announced that he agreed with President Aoun to meet on Monday, stressing that "the primary goal of any government is to stop the collapse."

Hariri said that he "spoke with President Aoun about his aspirations to form a government of specialists.”

He believed that "confidence must be restored to the international community," noting that "the economic situation does not justify this rise in the price of the Lebanese Pound, but rather the absence of horizon and the main goal of this government, which will be formed is to stop all this collapse of the currency."

He revealed that "the meeting today is to mitigate the collision and calm things down, and I will remain frank," pointing out that there is an opportunity that must be taken advantage of now.
