President of the Republic Joseph Aoun affirmed that “Tripoli holds a vital place and role in Lebanon’s economic recovery, to help put the country back on the right track.”
The President reiterated his determination to reopen the René Moawad Airport in Qlayaat, expressing hope that “the appointment of the Tripoli Special Economic Zone and port board members will take place within hours.”
Aoun’s remarks came during a meeting at Baabda Palace with a delegation from the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Tripoli, led by Toufic Dabboussi, who emphasized Tripoli’s historical economic significance and potential to serve as a regional economic hub.
President Aoun stressed that Lebanon needs “investments rather than aid or grants” and urged Lebanese expatriates to take part in economic revitalization. He affirmed readiness to work with Tripoli’s private sector to turn the shared economic vision into reality.
Later, Aoun met MP Ibrahim Kanaan, who briefed him on his visit to Washington and discussions with the IMF and World Bank.
