LDI Introduced to Latin-American and Caribbean Ambassadors

The Lebanon Dialogue Initiative (LDI) introduced on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, “Lebanon as a Land of Dialogue Among Civilizations and Cultures” to Latin-American and Caribbean Ambassadors at the Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU) PR Conference Room. Representing NDU President Fr. Walid Moussa and the Office of Public Affairs and Communications, Dr. Nada Saad, Director of the Public Relations Office, opened the floor with a warm welcome speech. Dr. Saad said, “Housing this Initiative at NDU is definitely another manifestation of how determined NDU is on expanding its role beyond the simple activity of higher education. We, at NDU, wish to not only support dialogue initiatives but also to be part of productive exchange and cooperative relations with local and international entities and institutions of higher education.”

Dr. Edward Alam, Executing Officer of LDI, began with a few introductory remarks, and then Dr. Guita Hourani, Campaign Director of LDI, explained how the petition and endorsement letters are gaining more and more support worldwide. The discussion also attempted to clarify how the Ambassadors can help LDI achieve is ultimate goal of gaining the United Nations recognition of Lebanon as a Land of Dialogue among Civilizations and Cultures and the establishment a center for this purpose in Lebanon. After that, Dr. Pierre Gedeon, Director of the International Office, said a few words of thanks before they all went to the VIP lunch at the NDU restaurant. The gathering was fruitful on all fronts. The Ambassadors promised to promote in their embassies, events, and respective countries Lebanon as a land of peace, culture, and civilization, and they stated that they looked forward to participate in future events of NDU’s LDI.
