Hariri: "It's high time Turkish businessmen invesred in Lebanon"

Lebanon offers stability, and Turkish firms investing there won't face any problems, said Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri in Beirut over the weekend. "Diplomatic relations between the two countries are in very good shape," he told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the Association of Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME) chaired by Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO) head Murat Yalcintas. "If Turkish businessmen invest in our country, now is the right time. There wasn't this much stability and openness in the past. Businessmen seek stability. Today we have it… I will support Turkish businessmen investing in Lebanon and Lebanese businessmen investing in Turkey. Turkey is one of the countries I'll visit. Many Lebanese businessmen will accompany me, and they will explore investment opportunities in Turkey."
