MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The new Syrian government will announce the date of its first session later in the day, Syrian State Minister for National Reconciliation Affairs Ali Haidar told Sputnik on Monday.
"Today, we will announce [the date]. The government was formed yesterday, I do not think that the first meeting will be held today, at the moment there is no precise information on this matter," he said.
In late June, Syrian President Bashar Assad tasked Electricity Minister Imad Mohammad Deeb Khamis with forming a new government. On Sunday, Assad issued a decree on the composition of the new government.
