15-2-2019
The Syndicate of Owners of Restaurants, Cafes, Nightclubs & Pastry shops in Lebanon organized on February 13 a training course for economic attaches appointed by the foreign ministry to represent Lebanese economic interests around the world. The aim of the workshop is to introduce participants to the Syndicate and its role and work with the various ministries and public departments, as well as its achievements in the past few years. These include, its participation in the gastrodiplomacy (diplomacy of culinary arts) initiative launched during the Lebanese Diaspora Energy conference (LDE) in Beirut and Montreal with the view to promote the culture of the Lebanese cuisine. During the workshop, Syndicate members underlined the importance of Lebanese culinary at home and abroad as an attractive contributing factor to the sustainable tourism for GCC and foreign countries. Participants deliberated the standards and specifications that should be observed in the classification of a Lebanese eatery in expatriate countries. The economic attaches attending the workshop expressed willingness to coordinate with Lebanese emigrants to organize a Lebanese day at the various embassies and to market made-in-Lebanon products, as well as build bridges of cooperation with local exporters of rural, raw and food goods.
