I will also meet with the U.S. ambassador at 13:00."
He said that a working session of the government will be held after the meetings.
"We must complete equipping all ministries and approve the candidacies of all deputy ministers," he said. "Afterwards, a plan of urgent tasks will be drawn up. This will take about two weeks."
