🤝Minister of Public Works and Transport
#Fayez_Rasamny on Tuesday welcomed in his office the Ambassador of the State of
#Qatar, Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who handed him an official letter from the Qatari Minister of Transport, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Thani, containing a valuable
#grant in support of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Works and Transport.
This step comes as a continuation of the bilateral discussions held during Rasamny’s visit to Doha last April, where he participated in the Air Transport Facilitation Conference organized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (
#ICAO), and met the Qatari Minister in an official meeting to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in the fields of transport and civil aviation. 🇱🇧🇶🇦
The Qatari grant includes:
🔹A range of advanced communication and air navigation equipment to support operations at Rafic Hariri International Airport and enhance aviation safety and security.
🔹A large number of public transport buses for the Traffic Management Authority, in support of the government’s efforts to develop public transport infrastructure and reduce pressure on the aviation and land transport sectors.
Rasamny expressed his “deep gratitude to the State of Qatar, its leadership and people, for this generous support,” appreciating “its consistent commitment to Lebanon and its solidarity in times of challenge,” noting that “this grant will contribute to improving the level of
#services and strengthening the capacities of the
#public_transport and
#airports sectors, within the ministry’s strategy to upgrade facilities and boost
#operational_efficiency.”
For his part, the
#Qatari_Ambassador reiterated “his country’s commitment to support Lebanon and its people, based on the directives of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, and its keenness to strengthen fraternal ties between the two countries.”
It is worth noting that the Qatari Embassy is supervising the delivery and coordination of the grant in cooperation with the ministry’s team, to ensure timely delivery and deployment of the equipment.
