Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transport, Ali Hamieh, affirmed in an issued statement on Sunday that, “the reconstruction of the Port of Beirut is an irreversible reform work, and its resonance will go beyond the borders of Lebanon as a whole.”

He stressed that several major countries and companies have expressed their willingness to participate.

“The entitlement to rebuild it is at the door, and its unique and distinguished role is a final decision,” he said, welcoming any side wishing to invest from the East and West, “but under the rooftop of sovereignty and the exclusive national interest.”
