They discussed the latest coronavirus measures, whether a stricter lockdown could be yet to come and when Luxembourg might receive its first vaccine doses.

Also on the agenda was Luxembourg’s 2021 state budget, which parliament passed this week. Finance minister Pierre Gramegna said he was optimistic about 2021 but MPs also gave the government a list of 50 suggestions to think about to come out of the crisis stronger.

Finally, the two spoke about the RestArt Beirut fund, co-founded by Luxembourg national Didier Goossens that aims to restore and protect cultural heritage in Lebanon’s capital following the devastating explosion on 4 August.
