"Europe and the Middle East in a new multipolar balance of power"

Guest speaker, Belgian Minister of State and former NATO secretary General H.E Mr. Willy Claes held a brilliant conference during which the public of Belgian and Lebanese businessmen was bombarded by the multitude of information on geo-strategic issues. The core of Minister Claes’ exposé is his vision of a dramatic shift in geopolitics that occurred with the collapse of the Berlin wall. From a bi-polar world in which the USA and the Soviet Union were the leading powers, the world is now evolving to a multi-polar world in which the balance of power is shifting and leading to more uncertainty.
