Guest speaker Vice Minister President of the Flemish Government H.E Mrs. Fientje Moerman presented the topic of “Trade relations between Flanders and the Middle East”.
Under a wide audience she declared: “one thing that immediately caught my eye in the invitation from the Belgian-Lebanese Business Council to the reception marking its official opening in October of last year was the following sentence: "For Belgian companies, the BLBC will offer opportunities to make contacts with Lebanese companies, thus opening not only gates to the Lebanese and the Middle East market, but also to the wide international business network of the Lebanese diasporas."
