Hasbani Presented Lebanon First Report on UN Development Goals
Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Ghassan Hasbani presented the voluntary national report on sustainable development, as he led the Lebanese delegation after coordinating the efforts of ministries, the civil society and the private sector to end up with an integrated report within the framework of the National Committee on Sustainable Development 2030 chaired by Prime Minister Saad El-Hariri and managed by Prime Minister Ghassan Hasbani.
