The much awaited LDE-Oceania is finally here! On the 9th and 10th of March 2018 at Doltone House – Australian Technology Park, LDE Sydney will be held under the patronage of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, H.E. Mr. Gebran Bassil.

After North America, Latin America and Africa, LDE-Oceania will celebrate the Diaspora's success stories throughout their journey in this continent of all dreams. It will also be a way to establish business and social connections.

Promoting the Lebanese heritage by spreading Lebanese culture, traditions and vision throughout the world, LDE also explores new possibilities and opportunities where Lebanese residents and expatriates can together restore the image of Lebanon and the world's trust in the economy of the country.

Dear Fellow Lebanese,

Citizens & Descendants

Residing in Oceania

I am honoured and glad to launch the first edition of the Lebanese Diaspora Energy Conference in Oceania.

The LDE concept emerged as a Lebanese dream to strengthen bonds between the Lebanese diaspora and the land of their ancestors, Lebanon. Your presence in Oceania has prompted us this time to orient the LDE compass in your direction and sail to Australia with the aim of bringing Lebanon closer to you.

Believing in the contributions of every citizen from Lebanese origin abroad makes us eager to consolidate our Lebanese identity at every LDE event. We are proud to put forward during LDE Oceania the Lebanity concept and introduce the Lebanese nationality redemption law to eligible beneficiaries. The LDE conference is a comprehensive platform that blends together the nostalgia for Lebanon with the variety of awaiting collaboration fields in health care, education, trade, investment and many more.

You, members of the diaspora in Oceania, have mirrored the good image of Lebanon and its culture, endured hardships, thrived and never forgotten your origin. I hope this experience will set precedence for future LDE conferences and contribute to preserving and nurturing the ties between you and Lebanon.

Welcome to LDE Oceania 2018. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your thoughts and suggestions from the forum!

GEBRAN BASSIL Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants
