Lebanon in Gastrodiplomacy - Canada
19-9-2018
A delegation from the Syndicate of Owners of Restaurants, Cafes, Night-clubs & Pastries in Lebanon participated in the Lebanese Diaspora Energy Conference held on September 15 in Canada. Toni Rami, the president of the syndicate, underlined the importance of promoting Lebanon’s image locally and among the diaspora communities through Lebanese cuisine, as well as, sustaining the authenticity of Lebanese eateries in those communities. The delegation, which returned to Beirut yesterday, has visited the Municipality of Montreal and the Canadian-Lebanese Chamber of Commerce. Discussions focused on the exceptional quality and uniqueness of the Lebanese food and on buoying up the Lebanese culinary sector to open branches of Lebanese diners and brasseries in Canada, with the support of the private sector and diplomatic missions. Rami revealed that the ministries of foreign affairs, tourism and other concerned ministries and the Syndicate of Owners of Restaurants have, two months ago, signed a memorandum of understanding to form a national committee devoted to campaign for gastrodiplomacy in the diaspora countries.
