According to National news agency - Lebanon, Issa El Khoury emphasized that the exhibition occurs at a crucial time for Lebanon, as reconstruction has become a national priority.

The participation of over 200 exhibitors indicates that Lebanon is poised to generate opportunities and attract investment. Issa El Khoury noted that international partners are eager to contribute to Lebanon's reconstruction and development.
