Lebanon’s newly-elected President Joseph Aoun on Tuesday called for the smooth formation of a new government to send positive messages to the international community.

“No obstacles should be put in the way of forming the government for a simple reason: We have great opportunities today that must be exploited. We should also send positive messages to the international community that Lebanon is capable of governing itself, implementing reconstruction transparently, and building a state we all aspire for,” the President said.
