Lebanon’s Minister of Economy and Trade Amer Bisat participated in the regular session of the Arab League’s Economic and Social Council in Cairo, where he delivered Lebanon’s official statement.
Bisat emphasized the Lebanese government’s commitment to comprehensive economic and financial reforms, reaffirming that national sovereignty is a prerequisite for stability and development. He underscored Lebanon’s return to active Arab engagement as a “strategic path, not a symbolic move,” rooted in the conviction that Lebanon’s future lies within its Arab identity.
The Minister announced two major initiatives: the finalization of Lebanon’s new economic roadmap titled “Lebanon 2035 – Restoring Trust”, and preparations for a high-level investment conference to be held in Beirut on November 18–19, focused on revitalizing the private sector. He invited broad Arab participation in both efforts.
Bisat also stressed the importance of Arab unity in facing regional challenges, reaffirming Lebanon’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.
The Minister concluded by thanking the Arab League and Egypt for their continued support, noting: “The challenges are great, but our shared will is greater, and our belief in a unified, prosperous Arab future remains unshaken.”
