NNA – President Aoun received MP Hekmat Dib, today at the Presidential Palace, and discussed with him current developments and needs of Baabda region.

MP Dib indicated that the meeting tackled the government formation developments, after the last Parliament session, and considered that a big difference occurred between the positive call for cooperation and dialogue and the negative speech of the Prime Minister-designate.

MP Dib said that this issue raises questions about the existence of a real desire to form a new government, or to remain in this direction which obstructs solutions instead of facilitating.
