Choucair received a delegation from the Franchise Association: to keep pace with positive developments

The head of the Lebanese economic bodies, former Minister Mohamed Choucair, received a delegation from the Lebanese Franchise Association, headed by its president, Yahya Qasaa, today at the headquarters of the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Chamber. The latest developments in the Lebanese arena were discussed, and the economic conditions and the activity of the franchise sector were discussed.

In addition to Qasaa, the delegation included Board of Directors members Anthony Maalouf, Karim Meknes, Nada Aad, Doumit Zgheib, Malek Barakat and Danny Boutros.

First, Choucair welcomed the delegation of the Franchise Association, stressing to them the great importance of this sector in the national economy and its pioneering role in raising Lebanon’s name high at home and abroad.

He affirmed his permanent support for the association and its projects that serve the development and expansion of the sector internally and externally and spread the culture of franchising in Lebanon.

Choucair stressed the need for the economic sectors, including the franchise sector, to keep pace with the positive developments taking place at this stage, which we hope will fulfill the aspirations of the Lebanese people at various levels.

For his part, Kasaa thanked Choucair for receiving him and informed him of the developments in the franchise sector in Lebanon and at the Arab and international levels, noting the successes achieved by the sector despite the difficult and unfavorable economic conditions.

Qasaa pointed out that the spread of Lebanese franchising institutions abroad has greatly helped in the steadfastness of the parent institutions operating in the sector in Lebanon and enabling them to maintain their employees.

Qasaa also presented the activities that the association will implement in the next stage, which will achieve a qualitative leap in the sector.

The two parties expressed their satisfaction with the constitutional steps taken at the level of electing President General Joseph Aoun as President of the Republic and choosing President Nawaf Salam to form the government, hoping that an inclusive reformist rescue government would be formed that would respond to the aspirations of the Lebanese people and Lebanon’s highest interest.

It was also agreed to continue communication, as well as joint cooperation in projects that the Franchise Association will implement in the future.
