TunisiaInternational Support Group for Lebanon urges political leaders to form a government and implement the necessary reforms
The International Support Group for Lebanon has issued the following statement:
“The International Support Group for Lebanon notes with growing concern the worsening social and economic crisis in Lebanon and laments the continued delays to the formation of a new government capable of urgently delivering on needed reforms and of countering the deepening distress of the Lebanese people. The ISG underscores again the overriding need for Lebanon’s political leaders to agree to form a government with the capacity and will to implement necessary reforms without further delay. The ISG urges Lebanon’s current care-taker government and members of parliament to fulfil fully their immediate responsibilities, by taking all available programmatic and legislative steps to alleviate the economic stress faced by Lebanese families and businesses.(..)”
The International Support Group has brought together the United Nations and the governments of China, France, Germany, Italy, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, together with the European Union and the Arab League. It was launched in 2013 to help mobilize support and assistance for Lebanon’s stability, sovereignty and state institutions and to specifically encourage assistance for the Lebanese Army, Syrian refugees in Lebanon and host communities and government programs and public services impacted by the Syrian crisis.
