Salam Receives Economic Bodies and Discusses Their Demands to Enhance Economic Stability

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam received a delegation from the economic bodies headed by former minister Mohammad Choucair, during which the overall economic situation and the demands of the bodies were reviewed.

After the meeting, the president of the Tripoli and North Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Toufik Dubisi, said:

"Our meeting today with Prime Minister Dr. Nawaf Salam focused on the demands of the Lebanese economic bodies, issues concerning the economic sector and its workers, including employees and laborers, and how certain measures can be taken to help us absorb the difficult phase we are going through and mitigate its repercussions.

Frankly, the session with the Prime Minister was comfortable, giving the impression that you are dealing with someone who believes in his role and his country, and is working on developing programs, some of which have been announced within a limited scope so far, awaiting their maturation. However, we can say that the coming phase is promising.

Frankly, I told the Prime Minister that we currently possess a set of facilities in Lebanon, particularly in Greater Tripoli, and these facilities actually require agreements at the level of prime ministers, meaning between Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and the prime ministers of countries we wish to work with, whether they are Qatari, Emirati, Saudi, or belong to any other country.

The projects that Lebanon needs, and which we are capable of implementing, could turn Tripoli into a platform serving global economies. This creates revenues for the Lebanese treasury, provides job opportunities for people, and simultaneously establishes regional and international partnerships that make Lebanon safer, due to funds invested on its soil, whereby our security becomes part of the international community's security and stability."
