The 15 members of the Security Council called, on Wednesday, in a declaration they adopted unanimously, to "accelerate the formation of a new inclusive government" in Lebanon after the legislative elections, and to implement reforms, including the adoption of the 2022 budget.
The formation of a government would allow "the rapid conclusion of an agreement with the International Monetary Fund," according to the declaration drafted by France.

The text also stresses the need for anticipated measures to promote "full and substantial political participation and representation and equality for women, including in the new government."
