Lebanese businessmen and businesswomen want to conquer new world markets

The Lebanese Businessmen Association (RDCL) led by Dr. Fuad Zmokhal held yesterday a lunch/dialogue banquet at Four Seasons Hotel in Beirut for the occasion of the official launch of the Lebanese Businessmen and Businesswomen in the World Association (RDCL World) in the presence of founding members and dignitaries. On the occasion, Zmokhal stressed that the new global gathering is an independent authorized entity that will encompass prominent women and men in business from Lebanon and the world. It will also embrace liberal professions and private companies, not only individuals, Zmokhal said, hoping to open branches in every country with extensive presence of Lebanese nationals. The gathering will seek collaboration and camaraderie and will “sign cooperation agreements with Lebanese international alliances to make team efforts more efficient and productive,” he said. “We have faith in the solidarity of the Lebanese business bodies around the world who are keen to help their national counterparts access world markets or venture together into new ones, as well as establish trade exchange protocols to finance tripartite operations and productive partnerships,” Zmokhal added. He finally advised transcending narrow individualist approaches in business, which the Lebanese boast, into wider collective work. The founding members are as follows: Elie Aoun, Mona Bawarshi, Emile Shawi, Farid Dahdah, Elias Dumit, George Gharib, Toni Ghrayib, Nassib Nasr, Riad Abji, Fuad Zmohkal, Elie Abu Jawdeh and Karim Farsoon.
