Shafaq News/ The Lebanese Ministry of Energy and Water announced today that an Emirati company had received a shipment of Iraqi oil to be refined and sent to Lebanon soon.
The Lebanese General Directorate of Oil said in a statement that the first shipment will probably arrive in Lebanon, to be received by the UAE National Company ENOC.
