Lebanon's PM-designate says he can form government to implement French plan
- Country:
- Lebanon
Lebanon's new prime minister-desginate Najib Mikati said on Monday he would work to form a government and implement a French plan to save the country from its crippling financial crisis.
"I don't have a magic wand and can't perform miracles... but I have studied the situation for a while and have international guarantees," Mikati said after he won a majority of votes in parliamentary consultations to be nominated.
France's plan includes a government of specialists capable of initiating enough reforms to attract foreign aid. (Reporting By Maha El Dahan and Laila Bassam; Editing by Toby Chopra)
