NCLW on the Silk Road to China

19-9-2017

A delegation from the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW), comprising its chief, Claudine Aoun Roukoz, secretary, Caulette Hayek and information officer, Violette Safadi, left Lebanon on Saturday to partake in the 2nd Chinese-Arab Women’s Forum in the Chinese capital, Beijing. The delegation was received at the airport by Lu Yamin, the deputy director general of All-China Women’s Federation which hosts the conference, accompanied by the Lebanese Embassy’s charge d’Affaires, Nasrallah Hatem. Both sides hoped the forum would kick off relations in support of women’s issues across the world. Roukoz is expected to give a speech today in which she will address the role of Lebanese women in promoting economic growth through participation in bilateral economic projects, namely re-activating the Silk Road Initiative linking China with Europe and the Arab world.
