Syrian Delegation in Lebanon for Railway Link Project
The article discusses Lebanon and Syria's efforts to follow up on the project to reconnect their railway systems, aiming to link the Port of Tripoli with the Syrian railway network. Two technical delegations from both sides held meetings and conducted field inspections to assess the condition of the railway line at the Port of Tripoli. The Syrian side expressed positive remarks about the potential benefits of utilizing the line, while reserving the final decision for a technical review. Additionally, discussions took place about the possibility of connecting the Lebanese line to the Al-Akari station in Syria, which is located approximately five kilometers from the border. This would facilitate linking it to the Syrian network heading towards Homs and other regions. Both parties agreed to continue technical studies to determine the project's route, analyze freight movement, assess economic feasibility and costs, with the goal of financing the project and establishing an effective connection to enhance regional trade and transportation. There is also potential for future development of the project into part of a broader logistical corridor.
