New York - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon welcomed Monday the new national unity government in Lebanon, urging the parties to work together.

He called on Lebanese political leaders 'to continue to work together in a spirit of unity, dialogue and cooperation' and to consolidate sovereignty over the country.
