Egypt has signed an agreement with Lebanon to rehabilitate its gas pipelines and infrastructure amid ongoing efforts to support the crisis-hit country’s energy sector, Anadolu Agency reports.

According to a statement by the Egyptian Cabinet, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly attended the signing ceremony at the government headquarters in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital, east of Cairo.

The agreement was signed by Egyptian Petroleum Minister Karim Badawi and Lebanese Energy Minister Joe Saddi.

Madbouly said the deal reflects the outcomes of his visit to Beirut last December and underscores Cairo’s commitment to supporting Lebanon in the energy sector and rehabilitating its infrastructure.
