Minister of Energy Walid Fayad welcomed on Friday, for the second time in less than a week, the US Ambassador to Lebanon, Dorothy Shea, at the head of a delegation.

Shea and the Minister of Energy tackled "the positive atmosphere aimed at accelerating the completion of the agreement with Egypt and Jordan, in order to bring gas and electricity to Lebanon, and the possibility of speeding up the securing of funds necessary to conclude the agreement."

Fayad had earlier met with British Ambassador Ian Collard, and discussed cooperation in the energy and water sectors.
