LUXEMBOURG (AP) — Xavier Bettel has started his second term as prime minister of Luxembourg, leading a coalition of his liberals along with Socialists and Greens.

Bettel's team was sworn in Wednesday. It will remain much the same as the outgoing government, with Socialist veteran Jean Asselborn holding on to his position as foreign minister and Pierre Gramegna as finance minister.

The parties control 31 of the 60 seats in the Luxembourg legislature.
