Lebanese tourism minister hails Qatar's support
BEIRUT: Lebanon's Minister of Tourism HE Laura Lahoud has hailed the State of Qatar's continuous support for her country and lauded the deep-rooted Lebanese-Qatari relations. In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), she emphasized that one of the Lebanese government's top priorities is the return of Arab tourists to Lebanon and its commitment to strengthening strong relations with Arab and GCC states. She noted the special ties between the Lebanese Republic and the State of Qatar and called on Qatari citizens to visit Lebanon. The minister said that the Lebanese government is taking all necessary steps to restore confidence in Lebanon, both domestically and internationally, under a new presidential term and a new government focused on strengthening the rule of law and constitutional institutions. She also affirmed Lebanon's decision to strengthen and extend the state's authority and that of the Lebanese army over the entire Lebanese territory, in order to maintain security and ensure the safety of citizens, residents, and tourists. Lahoud pointed out that her country's government is undertaking significant reform measures to regain trust after the successive crises the country has endured. It has also launched numerous initiatives to promote tourism, most notably enhancing airport security measures and monitoring prices to attract visitors, she added. She explained that the Ministry of Tourism's plan emphasizes the importance of year-round tourism in Lebanonâ€'not just during the summer seasonâ€'through collaboration with the private sector, especially given Lebanon's rich tourism assets, including natural beauty, as well as medical, cultural, and eco-tourism. Lebanon is preparing to host a series of cultural and artistic festivals and events during the upcoming summer season, which will enhance the country's appeal as a preferred tourist destination and encourage more visitors to come, she added. The Lebanese Minister of Tourism expressed her optimism for a promising summer season in Lebanon, with expectations of a significant increase in the number of Arab and international tourists eager to experience the country's diverse tourism offerings.

QRCS, Lebanon's social affairs ministry launch ‘Road to Stability' drive phase 2
Tribune News Network Doha With funding from Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs, phase 2 of the 'Road to Stability'—an initiative aimed at supporting the poorest Lebanese families affected by the recent war on Lebanon—has been launched. The overall purpose of the project is to enhance the financial stability of the most vulnerable Lebanese and Syrian families in Lebanon. Earlier, phase 1 had been completed for the benefit of Syrian refugee families in Lebanon, in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This newly launched phase, which focuses on the affected Lebanese families, is funded by QFFD and implemented in partnership with Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs. Based on regular assessments and surveys conducted by the ministry to identify the most affected people, 3,325 Lebanese families were selected to receive monthly cash aid for three months. It is another episode of the constructive collaboration between QRCS and Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs as part of the country's social safety net programmes, designed to empower the families most in need and enhance their resilience. The launch of phase 2 was held under the patronage of HE Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's Ambassador to Lebanon. During the ceremony, the participants expressed their hope that this cooperation would serve as an effective model for unified humanitarian efforts, thanks to the generous support from QFFD and close coordination among Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs, QRCS, and other humanitarian partners in Lebanon. In his keynote speech on behalf of QFFD, HE Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said, 'This project comes at a time when Lebanon is experiencing critical circumstances, which entails lending a hand for the country to come through the recent crises and wars. The project's name indicates the importance of stability sought by all the Lebanese people, as well as Qatar's keenness to preserve it with unlimited support, for Lebanon to further pursue progress and recovery.' Hanin Al-Sayed, Lebanon's Minister of Social Affairs, stated, 'I would like to express my deep appreciation to QRCS, which has always been committed to professional and dignity-respecting humanitarianism. We owe a debt of gratitude to QFFD and the government and people of Qatar for this significant contribution, which is a testimony to the humanitarian, social, economic, and developmental ties between our two nations'. Mohamed Ahmed Al-Beshri, assistant secretary-general for communication and fundraising at QRCS, commented, 'This project is not just a technical intervention or financial support. It is a true manifestation of our humanitarian and fraternal responsibility towards the families who suffer from harsh living conditions. Human dignity is indivisible. Standing up for the most vulnerable people is a moral duty underlying our institutional endeavors. We at QRCS believe that sustainable partnerships built on mutual trust are the solid foundation for any successful humanitarian intervention. We are proud of our strong partnership with Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs and highly value the substantial and continuous contributions by QFFD, our strategic and permanent partner in the humanitarian journey.'
