CAIRO \u2013 8 October 2021: Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad El-Hariri extended his greetings on Thursday to Egypt\u2019s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the 6th of October War victory in 1973.<\/p>\n
Hariri also hailed in a tweet the Egyptian support to Lebanon with the aim of alleviating people\u2019s social and economic suffering.<\/p>\n
Hariri said he sent a telegram to Sisi, wishing that God bestows prosperity and stability on Egyptians on this occasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cHariri also expressed his thanks and appreciation for Egypt\u2019s support to Lebanon and its people and [Egypt\u2019s] permanent initiatives to lift the grievances on our people and alleviate their economic and social suffering,\u201d Hariri wrote on his Twitter.<\/p>\n
The latest of these initiatives was Egypt\u2019s step to supply Lebanon with Egyptian gas, according to Hariri.<\/p>\n
Egypt will export natural gas to Lebanon in the coming weeks in cooperation with Syria and Jordan, Minister of Petroleum Tarek El-Molla said in a Tuesday press conference.<\/p>\n
Earlier in September, Egypt has agreed to pipe natural gas to Lebanon through Jordan and Syria in a meeting involving the energy minister of the four countries in Amman.<\/p>\n
The meeting addressed a US-backed plan to facilitate the exportation of Egyptian gas to Jordan so as to generate electricity and transmit it to Lebanon via Syria.<\/p>\n
Egypt is working to quickly coordinate the arrival of its natural gas to Lebanon based on its keenness to contribute to supporting Lebanon and its stability, Molla said last month.<\/p>\n
Molla affirmed Egypt\u2019s keenness to fulfill cooperation in this field due to the great importance of Egyptian natural gas in supporting Lebanon and meeting the needs of the Lebanese people.<\/p>\n
The minister affirmed that this cooperation stems from Egypt\u2019s supportive role toward the Arab brothers in all issues and comes as per the directives of President Sisi.<\/p>\n
A day after his resignation as Lebanon\u2019s prime minister-designate in July, Hariri revealed his country\u2019s plans to import Egyptian gas through Syria, saying he discussed the issue during his visit to Cairo.<\/p>\n
Hariri said his country would save 50-60 percent of the cost if it uses the Egyptian gas in its stations.<\/p>\n
