Syrian- Lebanese gas pipeline to be completed soon

Lebanon's Energy and Water Minister Ayoub Humayed asserted on Monday that the Syrian-Lebanese gas pipeline would be completed within three months.

The Lebanese Daily Star newspaper quoted Humayed as saying the second step would involve linking the gas pipeline between the oil facilities in Tripoli in northern Lebanon and facilities in Zahrani in the South.

He added that such measure was "very significant on the investment level É and useful on the economic level."
