A high-level economic delegation from the United Arab Emirates, led by Minister of Foreign Trade Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, is scheduled to visit Lebanon to explore investment opportunities. The delegation, comprising approximately 67 business leaders representing 55 Emirati companies, is set to meet with over 150 Lebanese companies.

Discussions are expected to focus on key sectors such as electricity, water, airports, and ports. The visit involves participation from various Lebanese government agencies, including the Council for Development and Reconstruction and IDAL. 

Observers note that the mission represents a shift in the bilateral relationship, moving from requests for aid toward a “language of partnership and investment.” The visit follows recent diplomatic efforts to reactivate relations between the two nations amid renewed Gulf interest in Lebanon.
