Beirut: Lebanon's prime minister-designate Mustapha Adib on Wednesday pledged to form a 'government of experts' to spearhead reforms demanded by France and the rest of the international community.
"We hope that we will quickly succeed in forming a government made up of a coherent team that is focused on dealing with the many dossiers before us," Adib said in a televised statement.
"We will proceed from the principle that the government should be a government of experts."
