Lebanon’s Tripoli Port Joins India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun announced on Saturday that the Port of Tripoli has joined the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor project.

The announcement places the Lebanese port within a project intended to strengthen economic connections between India, the Middle East and Europe.

Tripoli’s participation could give Lebanon a role in trade moving along the corridor, though the announcement did not specify the port’s responsibilities or the arrangements for its involvement.

No implementation timetable was provided. While the accompanying headline also referred to Beirut’s port, the details of Aoun’s announcement identified only Tripoli.
