Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam hoped on Thursday he would be able to meet the expectations of all the Lebanese after completing two days of consultations with lawmakers on the formation of the new government, Naharnet website reported.

Salam made his statement after visiting President Michel Sleiman at Baabda palace to brief him on the results of the consultations he concluded on Wednesday and which proved that his task in forming the new cabinet will be difficult.

He reiterated on Wednesday that he held onto the formation of a national interest government whose main mission will be to supervise the parliamentary polls.

Also Thursday, Salam pointed out that the draft-law that was approved by the parliament to suspend deadlines applicable under the 1960 electoral law will facilitate the formation of his cabinet.

Salam said in an interview with As Safir newspaper that he “has no specific time to form the cabinet.”

“The cabinet will be neutral and work with all parties,” Salam said, considering it that it'll be a national government not against any side.
