Minister of Energy and Water, Dr. Walid Fayad, said on Sunday during the works of the first Investment Conference in the Electricity Sector and Renewable Energies in Syria:

“We were about to enter the final formal negotiations stage with the World Bank to obtain an amount of 300 million dollars to finance the electricity link project between Syria and Lebanon over a period of two years, in parallel with the completion of contracts to extract gas which are almost ready.”

However, he indicated that the World Bank has amended its conditions, requesting the complete finalization of contracts in order to enter into financial negotiations.
