Envoy hails China's ties with Lebanon

'Small, beautiful' projects under BRI credited with promoting shared values

Lebanon's ambassador to China has underscored the deepening ties between the two countries — a bond rooted in ancient history and bolstered by modern cooperation, especially the "small and beautiful" projects under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Ambassador Milia Jabbour said Lebanon's historical ties with China date back more than 2,000 years along the Silk Road and form the bedrock of the modern relationship.

"We share one continent," Jabbour said, describing Lebanon as a key stop where Chinese traders once carried goods to Europe.
