Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani following the opening session of the Doha Forum.
During the meeting, the Emir reaffirmed Qatar’s continued political and economic support for Lebanon, noting that Doha will soon announce a new package of assistance projects dedicated to the country.
For his part, Salam emphasized his commitment to safeguarding the strong relations between Lebanon and Qatar, expressing appreciation for Doha’s sustained support, particularly in economic and diplomatic fields.

Salam highlighted that “the Lebanese Army continues to carry out its duties to extend state authority independently, starting from the area south of the Litani River, where the first phase is nearing completion.”
He further stressed the need to intensify diplomatic efforts to pressure Israel to halt its attacks and withdraw from the areas it still occupies. He called on Qatar to maintain its vital role in supporting this effort and in reinforcing international initiatives aimed at securing stability in southern Lebanon.
Salam reaffirmed his government’s commitment to advancing reforms and strengthening state sovereignty across all Lebanese territory, expressing his hope to expand bilateral cooperation in the coming period.
