The article argues that the inclusion of the ports of Beirut and Tripoli in the India–Middle East–Europe corridor’s “Ports Club,” through the signing of a joint declaration on October 6, 2026, does not mean that Lebanon has become a participant in implementing the corridor, or that investment will automatically flow to its ports. It stresses that Syria is a vital land route connecting Lebanon to Arab markets, Iraq, Turkey, and Europe. Coordination with Damascus and integration with neighboring countries are therefore essential to turn Lebanon’s maritime location into an economic opportunity, while taking regional competition and its risks into account. The article concludes that Lebanon must develop a corridor strategy, reform its institutions, strengthen transparency, and combat corruption so it can negotiate from a stronger position and turn its participation into a lasting national interest.
