Lebanon’s participation in the upcoming 2021 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS)

BEIRUT, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) — Lebanon’s participation in the upcoming 2021 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) will benefit bilateral services trade, Chinese Ambassador to Lebanon Qian Minjian said Tuesday.

“This will allow Lebanese companies to introduce themselves in the Chinese market and promote the growth of services trade between the two sides,” the ambassador said.

“We aim at encouraging Chinese companies to strengthen coordination with their Lebanese counterparts and advance practical cooperation,” Qian added.

Qian’s remarks came during a press conference held at Beirut’s Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture to launch an initiative by the Lebanese Chinese Business Association (LCBA).

The initiative supports Lebanese companies’ participation in the CIFTIS, which is scheduled for Sept. 2-7 in Beijing.

“China will continue focusing on cooperation, not confrontation, and openness rather than closure, while adhering to mutual benefit and win-win approaches,” Qian said.

Meanwhile, Ali El Abdallah, president of the LCBA, said his association’s initiative will provide Lebanese businesses with a great opportunity to showcase their products especially as the fair covers such areas as transport, travel, construction, insurance, financial services, telecommunications, cultural and entertainment services and others.

Lebanon’s Caretaker Economy Minister Raoul Nehme said that Lebanon and China have various opportunities to boost their economic cooperation, adding more efforts should be made to this end.

Caretaker Industry Minister Imad Hoballah said that Lebanon enjoys a high quality of production in different sectors, adding he is “certain that Lebanese products will find great success in China.”

INTER CAMPUS LEBANON ORGANISES TRIPOLI TOURNAMENT VISIT

BEIRUT – One of the primary objectives of the Inter Campus project, aside from restoring the right to play to children living in adverse social situations, is to create stable, trusted relationships with parents and families.

This is a fundamental part of the educational side of our mission – to allow young people to grow and develop through play while sharing sporting values.

Thanks to these strong relationships with parents, the coaches at Inter Campus Lebanon were able to organise a wonderful day for girls from the Shatila refugee camp, who took part in the second edition of the Tripoli women’s tournament – wearing the black and blue of Inter, of course.

The event was not just an opportunity for the girls to have some fun – but it was also a rare chance to leave the Shatila camp for Palestinian refugees behind and get away from a place where no child should ever have to reside.
