The President of the Council of Ministers Saad Hariri chaired at 10:30 today at the Grand Serail an extraordinary cabinet meeting to continue discussing the decisions reached during yesterday's session and study the regular agenda.

Hariri started by thanking everyone for the great effort exerted to reach a consensus on the discussed solutions.

He said that "the consensus would save the country from a crisis and enable us to take decisions to maintain the financial stability while securing the payment of the salaries and providing the required revenues. What is happening requires all of us to work in this spirit, whether in politics or economy or by securing the basic requirements of the citizens such as electricity and others. Rivalry and disagreement are the enemies of the country and are not in the interest of the state nor the citizens
