Lebanon, Iraq discuss reconstruction support and revival of Tripoli oil refinery

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met on Wednesday at the Grand Serail with Ihsan al-Awadi, the special envoy of the Iraqi prime minister, to discuss Iraq's readiness to contribute to Lebanon's reconstruction efforts, according to Lebanon’s state news agency.

During the talks, the Iraqi envoy conveyed Baghdad’s willingness to support Lebanon’s reconstruction in line with the Lebanese state's priorities and needs.

Discussions also focused on the oil pipeline project extending from Iraq through Syria to Lebanon, as well as the Tripoli oil refinery. Salam stressed that the pipeline file is a top priority for his government, citing its potential to reactivate the Tripoli refinery, create job opportunities for young people, and boost economic activity in northern Lebanon.

The meeting comes amid ongoing efforts by the Lebanese government to secure regional support for economic recovery and infrastructure rehabilitation following years of financial crisis and instability.
