The visit of Minister of Public Works and Transportation Faysal Rizamni to Syria focused on strengthening cooperation between Lebanon and Syria in the transportation sector, particularly the reactivation of rail links between the two countries. The two sides discussed the possibility of developing the railway network to facilitate the movement of goods and people, reduce costs, and expand regional trade options through the Tripoli port, reaching the Syrian network and regional markets. They agreed to form a joint technical team to study and reactivate the railway connection and to develop plans for border crossings, with an emphasis on connecting Lebanon through Syria to Iraq, Jordan, and the Gulf countries, aiming to support economic growth and lower transportation costs. Additionally, they presented a project to connect the Port of Tripoli to the Syrian borders via the Al-Oboudiya crossing, which is close to reopening within a week, in order to ease pressure on other border crossings.
