Beirut 1 investor conference starts at Seaside Arena
Government and business leaders and investors, mainly from Arab nations, gathered Tuesday at the Beirut Seaside Arena in an investor conference organized by the Lebanese government.
The conference brings together the private sector, the Lebanese diaspora, and international partners, as the country tries to rebuild itself after an unprecedented economic crisis and a war with Israel that did not completely stop despite a ceasefire reached in November last year.
A senior Saudi official had announced last week that his country plans to imminently bolster commercial ties with Lebanon after Lebanese authorities demonstrated efficacy curbing drug smuggling to the kingdom over the past months.
"We welcome everybody, especially our Saudi brothers," President joseph Aoun said at the conference. "Beirut has missed them."

A Begger Nation. That's what we've become.
No sane investor anywhere will waste a penny in a lawless country run crooks on all levels.
If for some reason things work out, I encourage every investor to NOT put your funds under the direction of any Lebanese politician or the government itself. The funds will disappear faster than you blink an eye. You as the investor control the funds and how and where it's spent.
