Lebanon, Syria, Jordan ministers meet in Amman over Lebanon energy plan
The ministers of energy of Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon met Thursday in Amman to discuss a plan to bring gas and electricity to crisis-hit Lebanon from Jordan via Syria.
Joint technical teams would be formed to assess the Syrian and Lebanese infrastructure and see if repairs need to be done as Syria's pipeline and electricity lines were damaged in the decade of civil war.
Jordan's minister Saleh Kharabsheh said the plan would be funded by the World Bank, the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development and other donors, while Syria's energy minister said the lines connected to Jordan are almost ready but that Syria's lines need continuous maintenance.
