Egyptian prime minister to visit Lebanon
Egypt-Lebanon, Politics, 5/4/2000

Egyptian Prime Minister Atef Ebeid will head on May 17 to Beirut for a two-day visit, his first since taking office last year.

Ebeid and his Lebanese counterpart Selim al-Hoss will open two electricity stations in Deir Nouh in the north and Gomhour, near Beirut, that were damaged by the Israeli aggression on Lebanon last February which targeted the infrastructure.

Egyptian Minister of Electricity Ali El-Seaidi asserted that his country will present all the support in this field, adding that his country will produce converters of 150-kilovolts.

Ebeid and al-Hoss will also head the meetings of the Lebanese- Egyptian joint supreme committee to discuss commercial and economic cooperation during the coming period and to resume the talks which al-Hoss held in Cairo in February to revitalize the executive program to support commercial exchange between the two states.
