Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani pledged to continue support for Lebanon after the recent formation of a new government in Lebanon. Al-Sudani emphasised Iraq’s enduring solidarity with Lebanon and commitment to providing all possible assistance.

Al-Sudani sent two congratulatory letters to the Lebanese President and Prime Minister on the formation of the new government. He expressed his hope that this step would usher in a new era of stability and security, serving as a gateway toward fulfilling the aspirations of the Lebanese people.

Lebanon has formed a new government under Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, marking the country’s first full administration since 2022. The 24-member cabinet, announced on Saturday, aims to implement financial reforms, oversee reconstruction efforts, and enforce a resolution to stabilise the Lebanese border with Israel.
