Phoenix Energy participated in an open round table discussion between ministers and specialists from Lebanon and Spain. The event, that took place on 12 January 2012, promoted advancement of rural areas in Lebanon by tackling major challenges and learning from successful experiences of Catalonia, Spain, in solving similar problems. The round table was held at Hotel Al Saha, Beirut Airport Road, Lebanon.
