By Karine Raad
BEIRUT: Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Tuesday “the main challenge (for the current government) is to find the means to preserve trust in Lebanon” and improve ties with the private sector.
During a meeting with various ministers and prominent members of the economic, commercial and banking sectors, Mikati highlighted the importance of coordination between the government and the private sector to help rejuvenate the economy, particularly in the wake of former Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination.
Mikati said several goals need to be achieved despite the Cabinet’s short-term status.
