Caretaker Minister of Agriculture Abbas Al Hajj Hassan and his accompanying delegation met with his Syrian counterpart, Mohammed Hassan Qatana, where the latter informed the Lebanese Minister of Syria's government's approval to reduce transit fees imposed on Lebanese agricultural products by 50 percent.
