00:00Lebanon's new prime minister, Nawaf Salam, is of course in that job now.
00:07Is he the right man for the job, do you think?
00:08Hi Tom, happy to be with you.
00:12Definitely Nawaf Salam is the right man for a job.
00:15Actually, I can't think of a better person to take on this job.
00:20He's one of the best since a very long time to take on this position in Lebanon.
00:27He's a jurist.
00:28He was the president of the International Court of Justice.
00:31He actually just resigned from his position to take on his new responsibilities as prime
00:36minister.
00:37He's also a very well-versed diplomat.
00:40He was Lebanon's representative to the United Nations from the years 2007 until 2017.
00:48And he's also an academic.
00:50He used to teach for a very long while at universities.
00:54He actually was my professor back when I was a student at the American University of Beirut.
01:00He's known for his integrity.
01:03He is known for his principled position and he is known to be a reformist.
01:10So lots of hope for the Lebanese with the prime minister.
