Cyprus FM to attend donors conference for Lebanon

Cyprus Foreign Minister George Lillikas left for Paris to participate in a special donors conference for Lebanon.
It is expected that states will pledge additional funds toward Lebanon‘s reconstruction as well as the reduction of its public debt.
Cyprus Council of Ministers approved earlier this month the contribution by the Republic of Cyprus of 100 thousand Cyprus pounds (one pound trades at about 2.2 dollars) to the Government of Lebanon.
The Paris meeting will be attended by 13 European Union members, 15 other countries, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the UN and the European Investment Bank.
