The First Anniversary of the Lebanese Liberal Democrats - Australia
The Lebanese Liberal Democrats Australia and its President Tracy Chamoun request the honour of your presence to celebrate their First Anniversary at a reception to be held at:
The GRAND ROYALE - 51-61 South Street, Granville NSW
on Friday evening, October 23, 2015
at 7:30PM
Tracy Chamoun is the President of Lebanon’s Liberal Democrats Party (LDP) and is a Lebanese author and political activist of Lebanese Australian descent. She is the
daughter of Dany Chamoun, the former leader of the National Liberal Party, and the granddaughter of former Lebanese President Camille Chamoun.
Tracy is the first woman founder of an Arab political party, and she is known for her moderate political views. She favors the building of a modern democracy, and has spoken out against what she sees as the feudal political system, in which clan loyalties often play a more significant role than ideology in politics.
Tracy describes the party’s purpose in this manner:
“The creation of this political party at this time is a means to reorient the political discourse for Lebanon, to affect change, to hold onto a vision of a modern nation, to plan for a better future for all citizens equally, and to give the new generation an operational platform for their ideas and suggestion".
Tracy is a commentator on peace in the Middle East, she has lectured publicly on the topic in Europe, Lebanon and the United States, and is a strong advocate for tolerance and coexistence.
"Without dialogue there is no peace"
Tracy Chamoun
