Qatar, Lebanon solidify ties amid regional turmoil

Qatari and Lebanese leaders reaffirmed their strong ties amid regional turmoil, with Qatar pledging ongoing support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, economy, and state institutions. Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani and Lebanese Prime Minister Dr. Nawaf Salam discussed expanding cooperation in energy, investment, development, and electricity infrastructure to benefit both nations and the wider region.

The pair highlighted a solar power plant project between QatarEnergy and TotalEnergies, which is close to implementation, and a joint initiative to modernize Lebanon's electricity generation infrastructure using a build-operate-transfer model. Both sides emphasized their commitment to Lebanon's sovereignty, security, stability, and territorial integrity, as well as their support for the Lebanese Armed Forces.

In a joint statement, the leaders condemned Israeli attacks on peacekeeping forces and violations of Lebanese territory, urging Israel to withdraw from occupied areas and ending hostilities in line with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
