Lebanese Prime Minister Nagib Miqati's new cabinet held on Wednesday its first meeting to draft policies to lead the country towards elections next month.
Miqati named a 14-member cabinet after weeks of crisis following the February killing of ex-premier Rafiq Hariri.
Miqati has pledged to hold the elections on time and to sack top security officials the opposition has taken to task over the Beirut blast that killed Hariri and 19 others.
According to AFP, the new cabinet met Wednesday and set up a seven-member commission, chaired by Miqati, due to draft the government's policy declaration which will then be introduced to parliament for approval early next week.
