Egypt Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif is expected to arrive in Beirut on Thursday on a two-day visit during which he will head a ministerial delegation in a new round of meetings for the Lebanese-Egyptian Higher Council. The meetings are set to focus on issues of cooperation between the two nations, especially in the economic, investment, and trade fields. The talks will also address bolstering political, economic, youth, sports, and educational ties, and a number of new agreements between Lebanon and Egypt are set to be signed. The issues of Egypt supplying Lebanon with natural gas and electrical power through Jordan and Syria will also be tackled.
