Italy's new PM unveils new cabinet

Xinhua, December 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

Italy's newly-appointed Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni unveiled his cabinet on Monday.

After a quick round of consultations with parliamentary forces, he met with Italian President Sergio Mattarella late Monday afternoon to hand in the list of 18 new ministers.

Gentiloni, 62, was given the mandate on Sunday to form a transitional government, following the resignation of Matteo Renzi from the post on Dec. 7.

As announced, he moved within the framework of the previous center-left government's majority in parliament, since all opposition forces were not available to take part in the new cabinet. Endit
