Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transport, Dr. Michel Najjar, on Thursday received German Ambassador to Lebanon, Andreas Kindl, at the head of a delegation comprising representatives of the  “Hamburg Port” consulting company, and other accompanying companies.

Discussions reportedly touched on the reconstruction of Beirut’s port and its suburbs and the establishment of a port with a transparent and independent management for better trade for Lebanon after the great damage caused by the recent August 4 blast.

The delegation briefed the Minister on the details of the project, which would secure about fifty thousand new job opportunities for young people through European and global investments; the matter which would contribute to its reconstruction and strengthening its regional and international role.
