A UAE delegation has explored economic collaborations with Lebanon during a three-day visit to the country, with the aim to support its economic recovery and future growth.
The delegation was joined by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) who assessed potential joint projects, while the UAE’s Knowledge Exchange Office was tasked with visiting Beirut to share best practices on government performance and institutional excellence.
This follows President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's meeting with Lebanon's President, Joseph Aoun in a working visit to the UAE in May, where the two leaders discussed ways to expand cooperation in economic, investment and government sectors.
The delegation met with Aoun, where discussions centred around enhancing bilateral cooperation and supporting Lebanon’s economic development efforts.
Meetings were also held with Lebanese Prime Minister Dr. Nawaf Salam and officials from ministries of finance, education, health, public works, telecommunications and interior.
The delegation also engaged with several national institutions such as the Central Bank of Lebanon, the Higher Relief Council and the Council for Development and Reconstruction.
Site visits to the Port of Beirut, Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport, Beirut Governmental Hospital and various public service institutions further underscored the delegation’s focus on identifying immediate priorities and potential areas of collaboration.
