BEIRUT — The Emirati company "resources investment" expressed on Tuesday to the President of the Lebanese Republic, Joseph Aoun, its wish to invest in Lebanon during a meeting at the Baabda Palace between a delegation from the company and the president.
"The delegation from the Emirati company 'resources investment,' led by Mohamed al-Dhaheri, conveyed to Aoun the company's desire to contribute to the implementation of vital projects in Lebanon, particularly in the field of electricity and the banking sector, as well as to invest in a number of development projects that the Lebanese state will determine," reports a message from the Lebanese presidency, published on X.
The al-Dhaheri family is among the most influential in this Gulf country, particularly in finance.
The return of Gulf investors is part of the goals set out by Aoun's term, who wishes to bring Lebanon back into the Arab fold.
After years of distancing due to the increasing prominence of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah in Lebanon, amid regional tensions between Iran and the Gulf monarchies, Aoun, elected on Jan. 9, intends to take advantage of a new context marked by the significant weakening of Hezbollah, at least militarily, following the last war against Israel.
