Bassil after meeting Diab: We need clean and honest ministers

Caretaker Foreign Affairs Minister, Gebran Bassil, stressed Saturday on the need for "clean and honest" ministers, known for their good merit and competence, to be part of the next government.

Speaking on behalf of the Strong Lebanon parliamentary bloc after meeting with Prime Minister-designate Hassan Diab, Bassil said: "We did not make any demands to the PM-designate...What we are asking for is the availability of elements of success and effectiveness for the new government."
