Issa says US committed to backing Lebanon efforts to modernize electricity
Reliable electricity is “essential for economic growth and foreign investment,” the U.S. Embassy in Beirut said on Tuesday, following a meeting between U.S. Ambassador Michel Issa and Chair and General Manager of Electricite du Liban Kamal Hayek.
During the meeting, Issa “underscored the United States’ commitment to supporting Lebanon’s efforts to modernize its electricity sector, noting that American companies are well-positioned to provide expertise and technology,” the Embassy said in a post on X.
“As a partner, the U.S. helps advance Lebanon’s energy security and operational efficiency,” it added.
