NNA - Caretaker Minister of Tourism, Walid Nassar, on Wednesday welcomed Pakistani Ambassador to Lebanon, Salman Athar, with whom he discussed bilateral relations and the best means to strengthen exchange of expertise in the field of tourism between the two countries.

Nassar also held a meeting with a World Bank delegation. The meeting reportedly discussed the means of bolstering cooperation to support tourism and rural development, as well as to improve the conditions of remote villages and towns — one of the most important objectives of administrative decentralization.
