Comment appréciez-vous le lien entre le Liban et la France?
Tout d’abord, pour ce qui concerne le Liban, je dois vous dire que jai un attachement tout particulier et un lien très personnel avec le Liban et ceci pour toute sorte de raisons y compris familiale, puisque lune de mes filles est mariée à un Français dorigine libanaise. Jai déjà eu loccasion de visiter le Liban à plusieurs reprises, c’est un pays que je connais bien et que jaime.
La France a un lien indissoluble avec le Liban; un lien impossible à oublier, impossible à éluder.

Lebanon’s Cabinet approved today a draft law, presented by Interior Minister Marwan Charbel, allowing Lebanese expatriates who were born abroad holding only citizenship of the country of birth, to apply for Lebanese citizenship if any of their father and/or grandfather are Lebanese.
I imagine thorough verification on the part of the government but such measures are long awaited, and surely be fruitful to Lebanon.
The latest draft, to be discussed in Parliament, would help Lebanese expatriates potentially take part in future Lebanese parliamentary elections via Lebanese Embassies abroad.
Lebanese MP Neamatallah Abi Nasr proposed a similar law back in 2004 and was not approved in Parliament.
“Every [male] Lebanese named in the census survey of 1921 and 1924 or who lost his citizenship under the 1932 general census can [as of today] claim citizenship for him and his children,” Abi Nasr said this December, 2011.

Live Lebanon, a one-of-its-kind U.N. Development Program project strives to revolve Lebanese expatriates to channel money from abroad to help development projects in Lebanon.
This reminds me of an endeavor the innercircle promoted back in ’09 with Team Lebanon on Kiva.
Fadi Salameh is the Institutional Goodwill Ambassador for UNDP Live Lebanon, representing the Live Lebanon and coordinating with the other ambassadors around the globe, each of whom is responsible for raising funds within their particular community, whether Australia or Brazil, among others.
He spoke to The Daily Star Monday about his role in the project, and what Live Lebanon means for the country.
Appointed to the role earlier this year, after having returned to Lebanon after a long stint in Dubai, Salameh, until recently the head of the Middle East Communications Network, was attracted to Live Lebanon due to the non-sectarian nature of its work.
Live Lebanon doesn’t belong to one group or another, and in Lebanon this is very, very important,” he says.
