Mikati at launching of joint committee to implement UNSDCF: Priority is for putting Lebanon on recovery track

NNA - Caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, stressed the obligation of putting Lebanon back on the track of recovery, in remarks made on Wednesday during the launching of the joint committee tasked with the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF), also referred to as the “Cooperation Framework” (CF), for the years 2023-2025.

"What mainly brings us together today is the transparent partnership between the Lebanese government, the UN family in Lebanon, and the donors, for the sake of the public interest and the guarantee of the Lebanese citizens' rights," said the PM.

"Nowadays, Lebanon is facing a host of challenges, including the restructuring of the economic model, especially in light of the devaluation of the national currency, the lift of subsidies, the crippled social conditions, the inappropriate policies at the level of infrastructures, and the brain drain," he went on saying.

"The priority of this meeting is to secure the technical and developmental support to put Lebanon back on the recovery track," he noted.

"Since sustainable development is not feasible without a political stability, we urge all the leaderships and the concerned officials, once again, to cease the method of obstruction and the trade of useless political accusations," he underlined, calling the lawmakers to reach an agreement to elect a new president of the republic in order to embark on Lebanon's recovery, enact the required reforms, and finalize a deal with the International Monetary Fund.

"We thank the UN and its institutions for their continuous support for Lebanon in these very difficult days. We hope that we will soon overcome the current ordeal and that Lebanon will recover and restore its substantial presence on the global political map," Mikati concluded.
