UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday welcomed the announcement of the formation of a national unity government in Lebanon.
"He believes that this important event reflects Lebanon's continuing emergence from the political crisis and the revitalization of its constitutional institutions," Ban's spokesperson said in a statement.
"The secretary-general urges the Lebanese to continue working for the full implementation of the Doha Accord," the statement added, referring to an agreement reached in late May ending the protracted political stand-off in the country.
The UN chief said he will continue to ensure the UN's support for the consolidation of Lebanon's stability and sovereignty in accordance with the Taif Accord and the relevant Security Council resolutions.
